Inside the Osama bin Laden Strike: How America Got Its Man:
Even the title hints at American Pride. Time magazine has built a strong reputation as being having well-reported and mostly unbiased reports. However, how can an American magazine be completely impartial when its country just killed the man responsible for thousands of innocent deaths on its soil a decade earlier?

The story doesn't ask questions like 'Why the hell did it take ten years to find this guy?' It simply told how "we got him."
In just a thousand words, Time described how we approached bin Laden's hideout and how we infiltrated it and killed him. The story of how America killed its most wanted war criminal and it was able to do it in a thousand words? Maybe our attention spans are short.
