The first article I read is from foxnews.com. The article was on 20 killed and 52 wounded soldiers in an overnight skirmish in Sadr City. Sadr City is a anti-American stronghold and is the center of one of the militant leaders. There were conflicting views in the article itself. At one point it says that one anonymous man reported that a U.S. Stryker was damaged, yet when military officials were asked, they had no idea of that. After just a couple paragraphs, the article switches topics to a hijacked bus and British plans on suspending soldiers.

I found the second article on an international site, a Kuwait News Agency. The article was on the same topic, 20 killed and 52 wounded in Sadr City, except the number of wounded increased from 52 to 239. The entire article was smaller than the other one and was more on topic with American troops and did not go into talking about British troops.

The only similarity between the two articles is that they cover the same topic, the Sadr City clash. The differences are that one of the sites, Kuwait News Agency, is closer to the actual site of fight rather than FoxNews. Obviously, one is from Kuwait, the other from America. Neither of the articles were particularly detailed about the fight, but the Kuwait Agency actually interviwed medial doctors to find out the actual number of casulaties compared to FOXNews that received their information from an anonymous person, whose credentials we do not know.
