Imagine that you are a journalist reporting on the Thornton Affair the week after it happened.Discuss with a partner how will you report the incident differently if you are a pro-American journalists?

As a pro-American journalist reporting on the Thornton Affair, I would emphasize the context of the incident as a defensive action by American forces, highlighting the perceived threats to American sovereignty. I would focus on the heroism of the troops involved and the importance of protecting national interests. Additionally, I would frame the response from the U.S. government as a necessary step to uphold Law and Order, portraying the incident as a catalyst for strengthening national unity.
