Letters to the Editor

@Uncle Fester
Yes, but the Nagourney/War Room story is a telling one.
First, I recall the headline from War Room said something like 'Nagourey: Clinton could win'
Clicking on it then led to 'Nagourney: "At least one scenario where Clinton could win"'
But reading the story, the article is actually titled, 'Obama poll collapse may be Clinton's best hope'
And I'm not the only one who notes this. I'm sure if you sift through the letters about his Salon story, you'll find other's who've noted the same.
In getting to the actual story, one had to sift through two Salon links, filled with biases that are not actually present in the actual article.
Of course as readers we are drawn to it. I'd say this is probably the single most important US Election to-date. That's precisely what bothers me. That Joan Walsh and her cohorts are using that need to know as an attempt to both -
1) Inject their bias (conscious or otherwise)
2) Use our need to know by being deliberately controversial in order to spike readership and web traffic.
Yes, I know, with each letter I type, I contribute to the problem. But it comes from frustration more than anything else.
