Patterico’s Pontifications is one of my favorite blogs. Written by LA County asst. district attorney Patrick Frey, the site is relentless when it comes to exposing the biases of the LA Times.
He has a great one today, highlighting the difference when polling data either fits their world view, or doesn’t.
Supporting Barack Obama, yep, that fits the LA Times agenda quite nicely. They are reporting that Barack Obama leads John McCain by 12 points in a national poll. They characterize that in the following way,
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has captured a sizable lead over Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)
Voters rejecting gay marriage, that doesn’t fit the LA Times agenda. Care to guess how they refer to a poll that showed voters oppose gay marriage by a 19% margin?
This is why I love blogs so. Thanks Patterico.
For the record, I favor gay marriage. It’s blatant media bias I object to.
