G8+5 meeting in Japan, Isn't this media misleading and biased info?

Question

In yahoo news, it reads that "in a meeting of a 17 country US lead group the developing nations reject plan for reducing emissions, the eight leaders of the most advanced developoing nations reject the agreement...

Why do they put it like that? US lead group? and is not 17th. IS 13, The G8 the most developped and G5 (China, india, brazil, mexico, South Africa) the highest emergent economies. Where did they get 17? the other 4 are presidents of international organizations invited to the meeting without decision.

Why do they color information like that? Why twitch the fatcs, this is disinformation or downright ignorance and indiference to the international scene! Note: i am not anti American, I am in the US, I just think that it is either dishonest , misleading or dumb to put it that way, opinions, thanks.

Answer 1

Good eye.  Clearly a mistake.  The way it came across was that India and China refused to set any levels for reduction in one article I saw.

Answer 2

Good catch man.  I agree.  That's how the liberal media operates though, I'm afraid.
