Check out the headline from the Washington Post: Most Say They Are Less Safe Since 9/11. Opinion Journal points out, "The Post's headline is false. The council's poll, conducted by the Hart-Teeter firm, asked, "Do you think that as a country we are more safe, about as safe, or less safe than we were before Sept. 11, 2001?" Results: 47% said "more safe," 34% said "about as safe," and only 18%--32% short of "most"--said "less safe."
I'm not going to say the print media is biased, but, and I mean this seriously, can anyone point out an example from the New York Times, L.A. Times, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, or even the Wall Street Journal when a news story headline was factually wrong in favor of President Bush or Republicans generally? And why is the false headline still online?
