The story I used for this assignment was updated a few hours ago. It involves soldiers who are being charged for crimes in Afghanistan. They killed, dismembered, and took gross photos of the dead Afghanistan civilians. The MSNBC article gave information about the background of the entire case. The CNN story was more of an actual interview of Jeremy Morlock, from Alaska, that he provided step by step details of what all the troop did. The biggest difference between these two articles wasI could not find this story on FOX news. I am not exactly sure why but it seemed like FOX has only stories about Iraq and Iran. I could be dead wrong but I couldn't find anything about Afghanistan. I think this story is very important and should be known. The American people should know about this going on because what they did to those civilians is just plain sick.
I also had the same problem with Fox. I don't know why they aren't covering this story but it seems like it will become a bigger story as it unfolds.
