really good one on the DFA forum sometime back on Camp Casey. The forum is now closed, so i can't go back to find the links. i'll keep track if and when I come across such instances again.

On Aug 20/21, 2005, there were two news articles appeared one at CNN and another on WaPo with a few hours separating them (links no longer work; more on it below):

1. CNN. Bush supporters create opposing camp
'Fort Qualls' built in Crawford to counter protesters' 'Camp Casey'
Saturday, August 20, 2005; Posted: 10:42 p.m. EDT (02:42 GMT). Link

2. War Backers Set Up Camp Near Bush Ranch
By ANGELA K. BROWN
The Associated Press
Sunday, August 21, 2005; 2:57 AM
CRAWFORD, Texas --. Link.

Here's how they differed (lines starting with "<" from CNN and ones starting with ">" from WaPo):

Links:

The original CNN/WaPo links don't work any more, but here are copies as of now:

• WaPo version

• CNN version clip

• you can find an interesting blog article on the same comparison (but CNN vs Fox) by someone here.

• google searches CNN and WaPo on the titles yield tons of hits.

Maybe someone that knows how google cache works can dig up cached copies of the original source articles.

This news-twisting nexus appears to include AP, ABC News, Fox, WaPo (and perhaps WSJ) from these and other similar instances.
