A Tale of Two Headlines
Rick Moran
As seen on Memeorandum, two articles on the same story with radically different headlines.
The articles are on a Gallup poll asking the question whether Bush era policies in the war on terror should be investigated.
From Gallup:
No Mandate for Criminal Probes of Bush Administration
From USA Today:
Poll: Most want inquiry into anti-terror tactics
Huh?
Here are the numbers - you decide:  The poll is skewed heavily to the left on the criminal investigation question because liberals, almost to a man, want to see Bush in jail. I find it interesting that a clear majority do not want criminal investigations - unexpected given all the rancid rhetoric from the left for 8 years.
Technically, both headlines are correct. But do you think there is any bias at USA Today when the poll shows a majority against criminal probes?
