Report to distort


No analysis provided this time, just headlines and the first few lines of the article. Are you ready? OK. This is yesterday's big news item:

13 civilians killed in Afghanistan: US military

KABUL (AFP) – The US-led coalition in Afghanistan confirmed Saturday that 13 civilians were killed in an operation against insurgents, with such casualties a major source of tension between Kabul and its allies.

The US military at first said that 15 militants were killed in air strikes in the western province of Herat late Monday but local officials said six women and two children were among the dead.


Now, with seemingly no acknowledgment of the previous day's news, here is today's:

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – A battle just outside southern Afghanistan's largest city has killed at least six Taliban fighters, while an airstrike against militants elsewhere in the south killed eight, officials said Sunday.
