Headline Reporting, SLANTED

The HEADLINE is probably the most important part for getting a story read.
Headlines are not done accidentally. look What these papers chose for headline on the SAME STORY....includes time line.

ARE ANY HEADLINES MIS-LEADING???
HERE is MY ANALYSIS.
Makes you wonder what you miss when you read only one story?

What do you think?

19 had misleading headlines,
no mention of terrorists, gives false impression.

3 didn't mention civilian deaths.

3 BALANCED,
Mentioned both civilian and terrorist deaths.

Guess we shouldn't just scan the headlines, misleading.

What does this say about the slant of reporting and the fight for the hearts and minds ? Even in USA?
