3. The BBC and CNN offer strikingly similar perspectives and coverage of the ongoing war in Iraq. On their respective Middle East news Web pages, the BBC and CNN offer stories covering the latest incidents of violence in the crisis, even if the headline stories are different. On the BBC, the top headline in the Middle East section on April 11, 2008 is one that reads, "Key Sadr aide shot dead in Iraq." The story details the assassination of a relative of a radical Shia cleric. On CNN, the headline story on the Middle East section reads "Mortar fires strikes landmark hotel in Baghdad." Thus, both leading stories detail a violent event that occurred recently in Iraq rather than a political issue. The event is covered objectively on both Web sites.
However, both the British and the American news Web sites do offer varying political perspectives on the war. On the CNNPolitics.com Web site, a headline reads, "Iraqi envoy: This is wrong time for U.S. To leave." Ancillary news stories on the CNN Web site appear equally as supportive of keeping the troops in and a "highlight" excerpt from the original piece reads, "Sumaidaie says next president will agree U.S. troops have to stay in Iraq." The spin on the story continues with highlights that suggest that the question of whether to stay or leave is "all about getting votes" and that leaving must be done in a "responsible manner."
The BBC seems to take a more cynical or at least sobering approach to the war in Iraq and the question of whether to stay or go now. The BBC even comes close to criticizing the way the Bush...
For example, an entire section of the BBC Middle East page is entitled "Iraq: Five Years on," and the three top headlines include one that reads, "Bush is 'avoiding Iraq decisions,'" and another that reads, "U.S. Stalls on Iraq Amnesty Order." The latter story includes details about U.S. troop and military deaths. In contrast, the CNN piece does not mention U.S. soldier deaths and instead simply focuses on the opinions of the envoy.
