To paraphrase both:

Israel storms ship, people are killed. Israel says they were defending themselves, Gaza aid people say they were attacked. Israeli soldiers were wounded, implying that shots were fired on both sides. Followed by background info, etc.

In fact, I find that the Fox News article gives a lot more words on the condemnation from other countries, the Free Gaza movement, etc.

Personally, I don't think that aid ships should have guns. And the Israeli commandos didn't shoot themselves, so somebody did.
Wasn't it an AP article?

Fox, CBC, CNN, MSNBC often run the exact same articles because its from the AP or something like that.
