Fox News headline this morning: "Obama's Debt Reduction Plan: TAX HIKES". (Caps theirs.)
Huff Post: "OBAMA TO GOP: END TAX BREAKS FOR MILLIONAIRES, OIL COMPANIES".
LA Times: "Obama challenges GOP on tax breaks at press conference".
Wa Post: "Obama urges GOP to agree to tax increases".
MSNBC: "OBAMA TO CONGRESS ON DEBT TALKS: 'GET IT DONE'".
Think about how the different headlines will affect people's views. Also think about whether the headline writers had anything in mind—consciously or unconsciously—when they wrote them.
