On
November
24th,
a
Russian
Su-24
fighter
plane
was
shot
down
near
the
border
between
Turkey
and
Syria
by
Turkey
for
violating
their
airspace.
Russia
has
contested
whether
this
was
true,
and
different
countries
with
different
biases
have
reported
on
the
event
differently.
The
Russian
Moscow
Times
released
a
surprisingly
short
report
on
the
event.
They
said
that
Turkey
had
shot
down
the
plane
for
violating
airspace,
but
made
it
clear
that
the
Russian
Defense
Ministry
had
said
this
was
not
true.
The
Moscow
Times
maintains
that
claim
that
the
plane
was
still
within
the
Syrian
border
when
it
was
attacked.
They
also
said
that
the
plain
was
shot
from
the
ground
with
a
missile.
British
BBC
News
had
something
different
to
say.
BBC
produced
a
much
more
in-depth
report
on
the
incident,
and
provided
both
points
of
view
from
Turkey
and
Russia.
The
writer
explained
Russias
conviction
that
the
plane
had
never
gone
outside
the
Syrian
border,
but
went
on
to
detail
the
circumstances
surrounding
the
attack.
They
said
that
two
Turkish
F-16
jets
had
shot
down
the
plane
after
giving
ten
warnings
that
the
pilot
had
violated
Turkish
airspace
and
needed
to
correct
this.
They
also
add
the
detail
that
the
plane
had
been
unidentified
and
that
Russia
had
been
warned
recently
to
stop
bombing
civilian
villages
in
Turkey
near
the
area
where
the
plane
was
shot
down.
The
article
also
notes
that
there
are
conflicting
reports
on
whether
the
Russian
plane
was
shot
from
the
ground
or
from
another
plane
in
the
air,
further
showing
both
sides
of
the
story.
This
article
is
also
interesting
in
that
it
makes
predictions
about
what
may
happen
in
the
future
surrounding
this
incident,
saying
things
like
questions
will
also
be
asked
about
the
readiness
of
the
Turks
to
open
fire
and
expect
diplomatic
fireworks.
In
the
United
States,
the
reporting
on
this
event
was
very
dramatic.
The
Boston
Globe
covered
it,
and
their
first
sentence
said
that
Two
big
powersclashed
with
each
other.
The
rest
of
the
article
continues
this
feeling,
mostly
focusing
on
the
conflict
and
tension
created
by
the
incident
between
the
two
countries.
It
described
the
conflict
that
Turkey
has
had
with
Russia
over
the
Syrian
president
Assad,
and
explained
that
neither
country
wanted
to
go
to
war,
so
there
would
probably
not
be
an
escalation.
These
three
articles
clearly
demonstrated
the
different
biases
that
each
country
has.
The
Russian
article
was
adamant
that
the
country
was
not
at
fault
in
the
incident,
because
it
did
not
want
its
military
to
look
bad.
The
British
article
showed
both
sides
of
the
conflict
so
as
to
seem
unbiased,
but
still
showed
a
little
more
support
for
Turkey,
its
NATO
ally.
The
United
States
tried
not
to
show
any
bias,
but
also
focused
on
the
drama
created
by
the
incident,
because
that
is
what
audience
of
the
article
would
be
interested
in
reading
about.
