Hundreds of people protest outside the U.S embassy in Cairo because of a video that is insulting the profit Mohammed. They shouted "Death to America" among other chants.
Below is a video of CNN's coverage of the on goings. The reporter chooses to describe the protesters as "Definitely an Islamic looking crowd" and highlights that a few men are wearing Islamic looking clothing. This is an interesting spin to put on the story, considering the connotations that Islam holds in regards to 9/11. This use of language hopes to influence the viewers thought process and overshadow any other reasons for anti-American protest.
Notice:
"A video that THEY SAY is insulting their profit"(Spoken very quickly)
This quick statement is overlooked in the broadcast, although in another, perhaps fairer report could be the main focus of the story.

Todays news in a nutshell
The IPhone 5:
Despite many thinking the release of the Iphone 5 may have resulted in the dawn of a new age in technology, Apple lunatics were left disappointed. Other than a taller screen, a lighter body and a faster camera, the IPhone 5 presents nothing that the Samsung Galaxy S3 or the new HTC has.

Today's news in a nutshell
The 13th September 2012 may not go down in history as the heaviest news day ever but here are today's top stories:
Hillsborough disator:
For those who don't know, 23 years ago at a Liverpool vs Nottingham forest FA cup final, 96 people died in a "human crush" which occurred at Sheffield Wednesdays' football ground in the Hillsborough area of Sheffield. This was, and still is, the deadliest football tragedy in history.
This month it has been acknowledged that no Liverpool fans were at fault as to the cause of the disaster. Although this has been highlighted in the media, it has not been the headline story.
The main focus has been placed on the way in which the government of 2012 have responded to this development. David Cameron issued a frank and full apology. Many people, including the families of the victims have responded as being unsatisfied by the "apology" of the PM, who they feel has no relevance in the case.
A mother of one of the victims said "I feel as though a weight has been lifted from my shoulders."
Perhaps Murdock's' media, who were, as always, looking for a dramatic spin which would help sell papers were left disappointed by the fact that the families of the victims were actually satisfied by the released documents, which gave them a form of closure.
