Self-serving “News”
In case you’re mired in the financial meltdown, Yahoo News got some timely distraction for you. One of today’s headlines reads, Poll: Obama tops McCain as football-watching buddy.
Eye-catching as it is, however, if you drill down, the devil is in the details.
The AP-Yahoo poll finds that by a margin of whopping (given its margin of error is 2.3 percent) 3 percentage points, Sen. Obama leads Sen. McCain as the choice of football buddy. Of course, people’s preference vary by race, age, whatnot. Well, that’s pronunced, is it not? To say that the AP-Yahoo News’ political coverage is as ‘fair and balanced’ as Fox News is nothing short of a compliment.
