A personal example.

When I was in Kuwait just before we went into Iraq, when we had been in the godawful Kuwaiti desert for weeks, a young marine went into the portajohn one day with his rifle and committed suicide by blowing a hole through his head.

Every news outlet reported it as "A marine shot himself today..."

Except Fox news, who reported it as "A Marine was shot today..."

A minor example, true, but one of many.
