Election Coverage Slanted, Say It Isn’t So…

Nearly a week after the election, the Washington post have come clean that their coverage was tilted towards President Elect Obama. Now they are only talking raw numbers, and not the actual slant of the articles written. 

You have to go here to see how those stories were slated negatively against McCain, something like 57% negative to 14% positive, where Obama numbers were 29% negative and 36% positive.

The other thing I thought was interesting is that it seems that the Washington Post doesn’t think they are a left leaning newspaper, which is about as stupid as believing that Fox News is “Fair and Balanced” 

I guess that is the Washington Post’s new tag line could be “Fair and Balanced about Obama”

Pick Yer Poison

I don’t know what’s worse in this situation (read article): the actions on the part of Oscar Wyatt, or the possibility that he was allowed to have access to sensitive information that he supposedly leaked to Iraq. There’s no explicit mention of what information was leaked (numbers, specifics), but it would be very disconcerting to know that whatever he leaked might have been accurate at the time. If that were true, someone inside our government or military needs to have their head removed for sharing that sort of information.
