Typhoon Xangsane Kills 59, Submerges Thousands of Homes in Vietnam
This Fox News report concerns itself solely with statistical data about teh strom. It discuss how many people died in different areas. What I wonder is why the story is still easily accessed and not archieved. A story that is just under a month old could not have the same importance to be part of the headline package. Is this Fox News' way of making it seem like they're on top of stories by populating their headline package? Is there a fear factor being created by Fox News so that people will turn to the news agency for information and help because of the stats presented? Or does the story's presence go back to the Vietnam war -- as a Republican biased news agency, is it continuing the fight of the Vietnam war that ended 30-40 years ago (ie racism)?
