Two Articles, Same Story.... or Not
Posted by Christopher Smith
For those of you trapped in the US media bubble, I thought you might find it interesting to compare two articles, written on the same exact story. One from the AP, found in buried so deeply in the New York Times’s national section that I only found it by searching for “Haynes”. Meanwhile, the Ottawa Citizen, which tends to be more focused on local news, had this take on the story. In case you are thinking that some of the allegations of Haynes wanting convictions in all cases were too unfounded to end up in print in the US, it did make it in to even a short two paragraph story in the Jurist, not to mention the original source article from The Nation(who by the way were all too proud to trumpet getting their man.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the Aussie’s are focused on an entirely different aspect of the story, although they still have yet to wake up to Haynes’ resignation.
