You know what’s sad?  This sort of bias has become so pervasive that it’s almost like it isn’t even news any more.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

Rob: It’s common practice, and has been for a very long time.  If that vote had gone for something the Dems wanted, it would be properly reported as a “landslide victory”, which it was.  Those who just read the headlines will never know that, though.

If you don’t know by now, don’t mess with it.

The headline was what caught my eye (I realize the headline is written locally.) It read something like “Republicans push through tax cut bill, 367-45.” I read the article because I was sure that there must have been some mistake in the headline.

Steve L: The headlines I have seen don’t mention the vote numbers at all, only that the Republicans “pushed legislation through at the last minute”.  You are fortunate to have a local paper that tells the truth.
Even then, is “pushed through” a proper way to refer to such a landslide vote?

Good point the vote was definately a bi-partisan vote total and that they was cooperation on both sides of the political spectrum. I think the media fails to mention this kind of things.

I was wondering what paper that was in when you say local?
