Rupert Murdoch's coverage of Saddam is contradictory

[IndianaGreen]

The orgy of "happy news" about Saddam capture is a good opportunity for us to see how the rightwing media is spewing this crap. I submit as evidence today's front page coverage from Sky News. You will see below how Rupert Murdoch's coverage of Saddam is contradictory:

SADDAM IS TALKING, CLAIM

Saddam Hussein has been giving his captors information on insurgents in Iraq, leading to the arrest of a key rebel in Baghdad, according to US military officials.

'HE WON'T HELP WMD HUNT'

Jack Straw says he is not expecting Saddam Hussein to reveal the whereabouts of his supposed weapons of mass destruction.

"Frankly, I'm not holding my breath for any confessional statement from Saddam Hussein," the Foreign Secretary said.

SADDAM REMAINS DEFIANT

Saddam was defiant and unrepentant in the hours after his capture, members of Iraq's Governing Council said.

He told them he was a "just but firm" leader and refused to apologise for the crimes against his people.

All of the above stories were posted today on the Sky News website, and will certainly be mirrored by Murdoch's other news outlets, such as Faux News.

Why is everyone reading this crap without even taking notice of their glaring contradictions?

3. Tell us how these are contradictory

1st story says he gave information on insurgents.
2nd says Straw thinks he won't reveal where WMD are (perhaps because there aren't any?)
3rd says he said 'sod off' to the IGC. No surprise there.
