The “New Math” of Fox News

Here is the screencap of a link from an extremely misleading link on FoxNews.com this morning.
The link to “U.S. Warplane Launches Massive Airstrike in Basra” goes to the following story where you would presumably expect to read abut a serious escalation in U.S. bombings in Basra against Mahdi Army targets, which would likely prompt attacks by followers of al Sadr against U.S. military targets around Iraq.
What you learn from clicking the link, however, is that just two bombs were dropped in Basra, and they were small munitions that targeted militants hiding in specific houses.
Massive = 2.
It’s nice to know.
