This discourse pattern is scrutinized according to Fairclough; 1989 and Fowler; 1991 used by reporters of Americana and Iranian newspapers in representing the event of killing Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis and Qassem Suleimani. This study aims at analyzing the selected data quantitatively and qualitatively through the lens of the model. It is hypothesized that negative value expression will be hired in the two selected data as the more used type form the model units. The model units are scrutinized at the micro level of analysis to reveal hidden ideologies that are of control in such use, compared quantitatively in terms chi-square test. The selected data are two international news agencies: American and Iranian. Three newspapers from each agency have been selected. More precisely, nine reports are assigned for analyzed, selecting two excerpts from each newspaper. As total, 36 excerpts from 18 reports are the analyzed data. In conclusion, the event is conceptualized differently in each news agency basing on the use of vocabulary in ways pretty clear of ideological tendencies. Suleimani and Al-Muhandis are also represented in quite different sense with lucid control of ideology in the choice of words. Ideology controls the reporter's choice of the words in accordance with the political ideologies, religious ideologies of the newspaper.
