Fox News Spins Its Own Poll Results

[SoDesuKa]

It's too funny. Unable to hide its own poll results that show that Kerry is winning, Fox News turns a negative into a positive. At least Kerry's not running away with the race, they say.

Headlines for previous Fox poll results boasted that Bush was winning. Then, as Kerry pulled even with the incumbent, Fox declared the race "neck and neck." Finally, as Bush starts falling behind, Fox makes it sound like Kerry is losing!

06/24/04: Bush Edges Kerry

07/22/04: Race Neck-and-Neck

08/05/04 Poll: Small Convention Bump for Kerry

Small convention bump? That's not the story here. Kerry pulled ahead!

1. Just wait for Fox News to give Kerry credit for anything...

... it'll be a long time, I tell you.
