So yahoo posts a misleading headline, "McCain closes huge gap on key question for women " |
|
Frankly, everything about the headline, and the poll itself is misleading
It isn't until you get to the end of the article that you realize it was a extremely small sample, likely, NOT registered, and is already an outdated poll
"The Lifetime Television/Every Woman Counts campaign poll of 534 American women likely to vote was conducted September 11 to 15, and has a margin of error of 4.4 percent."
Why am I even bringing it up?
Because the media is not a neutral party

They don't write their own headlines. And other news sites do exactly the same thing: http://www.koamtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=9050001Here's the original item: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13714.html
