Just when you think there might be hope for the lamestream media they go and prove you wrong. The Ron Paul campaign has garnered a good deal of attention lately because of the good showing he’s made in numerous online and Republican straw polls. So how is one to justify the coverage in an MSNBC article about the results of the Conservative Leadership Conference in Nevada. The headline reads “Romney Loses NV Straw Poll.”
The actual result of the poll was Ron Paul in first place with 33% with Romney a distant second at 16%. Shouldn’t it read “Ron Paul Wins NV Straw Poll” instead? I guess MSNBC doesn’t want to put Paul’s name in a headline; at least not one with positive implications. So they’ve spun it as a loss for Romney instead. It may do more to hurt Romney in the long run however, as it will cause search engines to spit out an article that brands him a loser. This will be aided by the fact that the rest of the article centers on Romney and his efforts to woo conservatives. Unsuccessful efforts it would seem.
