If you trust CNN...

(July 22nd, 2007 - 11:08PM)

Maybe you should compare the BBC's coverage of the Turkish election...

(From the BBC website)

...with CNN's coverage...

(From the CNN website)

Spot the differences? Here are some:

1. The CNN article makes sure to mention that the party is Islamist-rooted in the title.
2. The BBC used a photo of the Turkish PM, whereas CNN went with a Turkish mob.
3. The CNN front page mentions that many are "unnerved" by the winning party's "appeal to religious supporters."
4. The CNN article makes front-page reference to an invasion of Iraq, whereas the BBC has not emphasized this.
