Target: Libya

In the ABCnews online broadcast of "Target Libya", (http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/target-libya-gadhafi-target-missile-us-obama-war-president-13181038) I observed some small examples of bias as well as why no one watches ABC news. The broadcast seemed to be portraying the situation as aggressive on the part of the United States. Conservative sources would likely disagree on this statement. Also, many parallels were made with this situation and the situation in Iraq back in the 90s and early 2000s. Noticeable signs of bias were seen in some of the facial expressions of the news anchors as mentioned in Tipping Point. You could obviously see the change in tone and expression when talking about the Iraq war or how the United States launched more missles into Libya than any other nation of the Coalition. And as for why no one watches ABC news, it is not because of its liberal bias. It is simply a horrible news report. The anchors are ugly, have bad hair, and in my opinion show less emotion than a jar. If I wanted news with a liberal bias, I'd watch MSNBC, at least they do it right. Personally I'll stick with Fox news, I enjoy my conservative news.
