My Comment: I am deliberately using FOX News .... a user of the Reuters News Agency and a media outlet that many liberals (and some conservatives) despise for being biased in their own reporting .... to highlight how the major news services are biased in covering wars and conflicts.

As a bonus .... once in a while I will dump my own biased commentary on a story .... especially on stories that raise my eyebrows. I do it to work on (and improve) my English, and to clarify my own thoughts and opinions on a particular story. As to those who may find my comments annoying at times .... well too bad .... I have my own biases and opinions and I will never shy away from sharing them with you.
