This might actually fall under your “liberal media” category though, as I think it is safe to say that NPR is skewed towards upper-class intellectuals, a population that tends to be pretty liberal.

Very interesting idea though to look at stories through different news windows. I remember listening to an interview with Chuck Klosterman who believed that the idea that certain newspapers have biases was a myth, but I think you’ve provided strong evidence to the contrary. This was certainly a huge story and all sources needed to give this proper coverage.

One final point in my lengthy comment, but do you think that the various time differences could play a part in the coverage of this story? If you had actually looked at a real newspaper versus the website, would these differences have been as exaggerated? Some countries would have had longer to digest the story than others and thus it might not have been as prominently featured as a result.
