PEJ summary selectively cited poll to suggest Americans are uninterested in U.S. attorney story
March 28, 2007 1:29 pm ET
SUMMARY: In the summary of its March 18-23 News Coverage
Index, the Project for Excellence in Journalism selectively cited a Pew
Research Center for the People and the Press poll to assert that the American
public is not that interested in the U.S. attorney scandal. It did not note
that the same Pew poll found that 19 percent of respondents said they were
following "[q]uestions about how the White House and Attorney General
Alberto Gonzales were involved in the firing of eight federal prosecutors"
"very closely," while 24 percent said they were following it
"fairly closely."
