My colleague Paul Dragos Aligica points out this Yahoo News’s shameless example of manipulative interpretation of an opinion poll. Aligica writes:

“Voters Back Obama Over Republicans on Health Care, Poll Finds”
buried in content:
“voters disapproved of the way Obama was handling health care, 51 percent to 41 percent. His health-care plan was opposed by 47 percent, supported by 40 percent.”

It would be hilarious if it weren’t going to cost us so much money.

By the way, Aligica’s latest book, In Defense of Thinking, is worth reading.
