To the best of the researcher’s knowledge, this topic has not been given sufficient investigation, particularly pragmatically. As such, this study attempts to fill in this gap in this arena, particularly in the genre of news reports. Hence, the study aims to achieve the following: finding out the types of misrepresentation that are used by British and American news reporters, revealing which pragmatic strategies are employed by British and American news reporters in their attempt to misrepresent facts and events in news reports, determining what is the difference, if there is any, between British and American news reports as far as the exploitation of the pragmatic strategies of misrepresentation is concerned, pinpointing which pragmatic strategy has prevalence over other strategies in British and American news reports , and showing if there are any differences between British and American news reports as far as the stages those reports consist of.
