I wish I could find the link. But it basically said that the language in the news media is faulty along similar lines, though possibly less intentionally. It focused on poorly worded poll questions.</p><p>The example that comes to mind right now is a statistic that stated that evangelicals overwhelmingly supported Republicans in 2004. That's true, but it's white evangelicals that overwhelmingly supported them. Black evangelicals weren't considered in the survey. Basically it was the same with other examples. Minorities don't count in these polls for anything other than their ethnicity, even if they fit into some other category.</p>Eric CheungWed, 30 Apr 2008 19:43:42 -0000http://www.baratunde.com/blog/archives/2008/04/nyt_editorial_on_wright_and_hagee.html#comment-1950290<p>Definitely good stuff! McClain has not been called to task about Hagee's or Falwell's statements. And no one in mainstream media has even mentioned Pat Buchanan's racist diatribe.</p>KenyaWed, 30 Apr 2008 15:12:04 -0000
