So-Called Liberal Media

There is a new CBS Poll. It's quite an interesting poll, but I'd like to draw your attention to the headline. It should be enough to put to rest the myth of the "Liberal Media" FOR EVER. It reads:

"CBS Poll: Vets Favor Bush"

A perfect example of the "Liberal Media." Actually, there are TONS of findings in this poll, and overall, it's DEVASTATING to Bush. But what's the headline? "VETS FAVOR BUSH." The first instinct of the "Liberal" CBS was to spin so that it seemed to favor Bush.

How about these headlines instead?
----------------
"MOST VETS THINK WAR IS GOING BADLY"

HOW IS WAR GOING FOR U.S.?
ALL
Well 37%
Badly 60%

VETERANS
Well 47%
Badly 51%

----------------------------
"MOST VETS DON'T THINK IRAQ WAR IS WORTH COSTS"

WAS IRAQ WAR WORTH COSTS?
ALL
Yes 33%
No 60%

VETERANS
Yes 40%
No 55%

-------------------------------
"MOST VETS THINK US SHOULD HAND OVER CONTROL NOW"

U.S. TROOPS SHOULD:
ALL
Stay as long as it takes 45%
Turn control over to Iraqis now 49%

VETERANS
Stay as long as it takes 47%
Turn control over to Iraqis now 49%

---------------------------
"MOST VETS THINK BUSH HAS NO CLEAR PLAN"

DOES BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAVE CLEAR PLAN FOR 6/30 HANDOVER?
ALL
Yes 24%
No 60%

VETERANS
Yes 26%
No 63%
