Fake News Includes the Spin

Posted on Updated on

The latest Washington Post/ABC poll checks the pulse of voters to determine the level of presidential buyer’s remorse.  You can almost sense WaPo’s  giddiness in a feature article on the poll as they highlight the worst of the Trump news and sink anything Trump-positive to the very bottom.

After you’ve read through the first 1450 words of this 1489-word article, WaPo begrudgingly gets to the most interesting poll result; Trump would beat Hillary even in the popular vote if the election were held today.

That got us to thinking how else the mainstream print outlets can spin a story toward their preconceived biases.  Below are a few thoughts on how that might look.

    Is there no longer a “no-spin zone” to be found?
