The term "Arrowhead Ripper" has not yet appeared on an NPR headline, for example. I bet you never heard of it. You would have lost that bet. And I assure you that I didn't get it from Fox. But I'm not sure that it's even good journalism to put a operation codename in the title of an article. Isn't it obvious that when you introduce an operational codename people don't know what it is? It's like using an acronym before you spell it out. What's news? That the space shuttle landed safely or the codename of the space shuttle that landed safely? Now if you're telling me that the only news your absorb is the "headlines", then you're probably in trouble. It's impossible to notice the bias from one's ONLY sources of news. As most of my news reading starts here: newsnow.co.uk what's the issue you're babbling about? The slant being not in what the list of headline includes, but what it excludes. You're right I didn't catch the porn star/police officer story on NPR or PBS. I think I can live without that one. jttmab
