Andrew Malcolm: Stupid on Purpose, or Accidentally Stupid
I'll hand it to Andrew Malcom of the LA Times - he knows how to write a headline that gets people to click on it. We can all take lessons from him in that department.

What he apparently does NOT know how to do is read a poll. Malcolm - get this - was able to take a Bloomberg survey that shows the president at 47% job approval (6 points below the support he had in the 2008 presidential election) and spin it into a headline claiming the president had lost nearly half his support.

With members of the media like this, no wonder people are misinformed. But anything for a meme, right Andrew?
