Same information?
The Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Daily News based their top headlines today on the same polling information.
The Times wrote….
Bush and GOP Making Gains Among Voters – The turnaround is a sign that the election battle in November could be fierce.
The Daily News wrote…
Thumbs Down on Congress – GOP-controlled legislature out of touch with most Americans.
The almost opposite take on the exact same information brings up a number of interesting points….
1. Getting your news from a single source – any single source – is a bad idea.
2. The idea that newspapers somehow have secret meetings and work together
is silly.
3. The Los Angeles Times, long considered a leader in the liberal movement, continues it slow, but consistent, march toward the center.
4. November 7th is going to be fun!
