Media coverage of Clear The Bench Colorado, the Colorado Supreme Court, and the issue of “merit” selection & retention of judges nationwide came in a veritable torrent over the weekend, instead of trickling in over the course of a week…

The “news” and the truth rarely intersect

by | 4:35 pm, January 30, 2010

Compare these two headlines about the same meeting:
1.
“Gloves off for GOP, Obama

2.
“Off script, Obama and the GOP vent politely“
The first is the Denver Post headline of an Associated Press story. The second is from the New York Times’ coverage of the same event.
These disparate views of a singular meeting gives one pause. Do not trust the “news” until you have had the opportunity to review as many different accounts of the event as possible.
Then doubt it some more.
(I didn’t link to the Post story because the online version has a different headline now. I have picture of the headline in the hard copy of the paper that was delivered to my house.)
