The liberal dominated MSM's selective reporting

Here's one example of the MSM's selective reporting from a two-pager in US News & World Report:
Few news outlets reported all of the following facts, which surely bear on [Sgrena's] probable credibility: She strongly opposed the American invasion, she identifies with the resistance to the United States in Iraq, she works for a Communist paper, and she is a Communist herself. Many media outlets reported that her employer, Il Manifesto, is a Communist paper. Her anti-Americanism was more rarely noticed, and the fact that she is a Communist was almost always omitted. According to a computer search, the New York Times didn't use the "C" word at all in the Sgrena case, referring to Il Manifesto as a "leftist" daily. This is correct, I suppose, in the same sense that a Nazi paper could be called a "rightist" weekly.
But you already knew we weren't getting the whole story, didn't you?
