You may remember their earlier decision of omitting the word 'Mr' from their news stories, as a protest against the GOSL's request to stop using that title for LTTE leaders.This time they are reporting the death tolls in north eastern war, asa summation of LTTE deaths and security forces deaths. In todaysheadlines, SirasaReported, '31 people died in fightings escalated in north and east'At the very later part of the story, they revealed 25 out of them areLTTE cardres.Sirasa seems to be expecting 2 things. One, they are trying to see nodifference between those brutal terrorists, and the Sri lankan forces.They are trying to paint such a picture in the minds of their viewers.Two, they are purposely degrading the success of military operationsagainst the terrorists, in the north. All in all, Sirasa seems to becontinuing their role of being the 'Voice of Tigers' among the Sinhalaaudience.</blockquote>
