Balanced Reporting

This article presents both the A and not A as true. I think this is what counts for balance now.

The banner on the front page of MSNBC: MAKING GAINS: Poll shows Bush, GOP closing gap with Dems

The article? Well...not so much:

As the race for Congress enters the homestretch, the Republicans find themselves limping to the finish line, according to the new NEWSWEEK Poll. President Bush’s approval rating continues a slow but steady climb—from an all-time NEWSWEEK-poll low of 33 percent three weeks ago to 37 percent today. But it may be too little, too late: if the midterm elections were held today, 53 percent of those likely to go to the polls would vote for the Democratic candidate in their Congressional district versus just 39 percent who would vote for the Republican.

Oy.
