Check out Fox News for this latest effort. I'm torn between calling this a blatant lie, or a statement so tortured that it may as well have spent the last 5 years at Guantanamo Bay.
And in politics
Yes, they are actually claiming with a straight face on their front page that the bill was defeated 52-47.
After all, the truth is so dangerous to their readers.
Inside it gets more accurate
WASHINGTON — The Senate rejected a plan Wednesday to bring home U.S. troops from Iraq by early next year after spending an all-night session debating whether to demand President Bush change the mission.
The 52-47 vote fell short of the 60 votes needed to cut off debate and move toward passage. Four Republicans voted with the Democrats, but only one new backer emerged after the 24-hour Democrat-orchestrated talkathon: Susan Collins of Maine who is seeking re-election next year.
But that's not the point is it ? If you want to get your message out you don't put it in the actual news story where 90% of your readers go, you just throw up a headline with the gist of what you want and then retract it in the body.
