Note the differences in introducing the same story.
Reuters, a British based news agency with, in my opinion, anti-US feelings, specifies the Iraq police force is "U.S.-backed" while Fox News simply refers to a police station and a senior Iraqi police official. Question to Reuters...what other Iraq police force is there?
The spin is subtle, but the Reuters presentation encourages the reader to make a connection between the explosion and the United States...a connection that has yet to be established.
