Greyhawk on coverage of Iraq parliamentary debate:

If you want an excellent example of how a newspaper can shape the news, read Mohammed's account of the televised parliamentary debate in Iraq, then try the New York Times report of the same.

The difference? One is straightforward news, a presentation of facts, and the other is an opinion piece masked as news. In defense of the Times effort, it does relieve the reader of the burden of thinking for themselves.

And check out all the other coverage of the anti-war protest in DC, SecDef Gates on Iraq, etc.
