One should never forget that they are selling newspapers. Depending on just one source for information should be avoided.

WaPo is one of my regular reads. I was more concerned that the poll partner was ABC. That is what made me continue. But the error versus the two scores certainly did not warrant the headline. And they wonder why people criticize the press as being biased.

Thanks for stoppin’ by.

I’ve always found headlines to be a pisser! Supermarket line, wherever; it is oftentimes the only news some people read or hear.

Oh, hey, I’m sure they debated and stayed up all night trying to figure out what the most honest headline and story would be, don’t you?

+/- 3? Very interesting, yeah it’s a wash but they got their points with the article…damage done.

Very sad manipulation that has its affect; who are they to decide what this country needs.

Great catch on this one!
