I live in Madison, Wisconsin. It's a nice liberal city but has a right-wing newspaper, The Wisconsin State Journal. Here is the headline on page three of the paper:
POLL: OBAMA IS LOSING GROUND
It's all about that silly Zogby poll that has Obama 1-point behind McCain. There is 8 paragraphs on that poll. Then in the final paragraph of the story is this: "At the same time, an Associated Press-Ipsos poll had Obama leading McCain 47 percent to 41 percent among registered voters." end of story.
So instead of headlining a story that Obama is six points up in one poll they chose to do the major part of the story on the one poll that has McCain up by one-point. Better yet they could have done a story equally about both polls perhaps with a headline saying: POLLS OFFER CONFLICTING RESULTS.
But no, they choose the poll and headline most negative to Obama.
