SPIN WATCH

HEADLINE U.S. FAMILIES PROTEST WAR - THOSE WHO'VE LOST LOVED ONES IN IRAQ JOIN DISSENT

Question: Why doesn't this headline say "Those who have lost loved ones choose not to join in dissent"?

Both "states of being" exist for families of the fallen. And yet this headline presents only half (or less) of the story.

Oh...yeah...before my buddy Defense Contractor Guy has to write in again...the headline writers job is to sell papers, not report the facts.
