Why is it only news when Bush is 'leading' in the polls?
I have never once seen in the news, Kerry gains 4 point lead over Bush. Although I have looked at the graphs and seen that Kerry at times has had a solid lead over Bush.

We all know the answer to my question.

It is just another point for the case that the media is liberal only in the minds of the paranoid.

1. When Kerry leads by 5% it's a "statistical tie."
When Smirk leads by 1% it's a "surge in the polls." :eyes:

2. The "liberal media" line...
...is the most absurd of the many examples of application of the principle: attack is the best defense; attack your opponent with an accusation before she attacks you with the same accusation.
