Truth to Power

Wow, almost a functioning press

Dig the headline:

Bush Leaves Out the Bad News When Citing Poll Saying Iraqis Are Upbeat

President Bush is making selective use of an opinion poll when he tells people that Iraqis are increasingly upbeat.

The same poll that indicated a majority of Iraqis believe their lives are going well also found a majority expressing opposition to the presence of U.S. forces, and less than half saying Iraq is better off now than before the war. </i>

“Making selective use”. Ok, thats close enough to “Bush lies by omission”, considering the weasels we’re dealing with.
