Will the GOP /FOX spin machine work on anyone but Republicans spinning the facts on this AP Article?


They are raising the pay for their own while calling for cuts on all other government workers as shown by this article : http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101220/ap_on_re_us/us_pay_freeze_congress
Now CBS and ABC are running with this story. Will this hurt the Republicans with independents because it proves Republican hypocrisy?
2 points, 1) The Democrats are not and have not run on cutting federal wages 2) Eric Cantor DID run with Tea Party backing, money and on their platform of cutting spending.

Can you spot the spin in this article?


Poll: Obama earns nation’s trust

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/21213;_ylt=AuMegA0JPPONCTP7eDy08OQGw_IE;_ylu=X3oDMTE2azY4MDY3BHBvcwMzBHNlYwN5bi1yLWItbGVmdARzbGsDLXBvbGw6b2JhbWFl

Of those who said they trust the president, 31 percent said they trust him “a great deal.” An additional 35 percent said they have “some” trust that Obama will find the correct solution. Thirty-one percent said they trust Obama either “not very much” or “not at all.”……Romney got a mixed reaction, with 38 percent of voters saying they trust him and 39 percent saying they don’t.
me…."Why would you need to manipulate things like this?"

Obama had 31% strongly for and 31% strongly against.

Romney had 38% strongly for and 38% strongly against.

Obama is said to be "trusted". Romney is not.

Judging by the tone of this article, can you say that Yahoo News puts an incredulous spin/bias on its articles?


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_asian_carp_great_lakes

I agree with their opinion on stopping the Asian carp flow…blocking access to the basin should be our first priority for that.
But I shouldn’t even know their opinion on the matter, as a good journalist wouldn’t inundate his articles (or articles taken from other sites, like this one which is from Associated Content) with bias to the point of being an Op-ed and call it "news".

so tell me: is this a good example of the terrible news bias of Yahoo News?

Anyone else find the spin they put on this article interesting?

It just seemed like a very positive spin to describe over half million first time jobless claims.

Not really thinking they should go with the sky is falling approach, but I found it a bit laughable.

Obama is helping small businesses to get loans, how will the naysayers spin this one?


http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090316/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_economy

Per the article, Obama is helping small businesses to get loans.

According to many in here, that seemed to be one of the ways to boost the economy. Now that President Obama is addressing this, what will his naysayers gripe about now?
