Jamison just highlighted the dreadful WashPost effort, as the Beltway press corps continues to fictionalize the tale about Obama's falling poll numbers. (Fact: According to the latest from WashPost/ABC News, his approval rating stands at a very robust 65 percent.)
In my column this week, I focused attention on the ABC News team and how they did their best to ignore, play down and just plain misinform viewers and readers about their own polling data.
For instance, on his blog, This Week host George Stephanopoulos posted an item under the headline: “Obama's Poll Numbers Falling to Earth?” In his post, Stephanopoulos stressed that Obama was “slipping a bit,” but never once mentioned that Obama's approval rating stood at 65 percent, down just 1 point from March.
Oops.
Jake Tapper's report last week on GMA perfectly captured the ABC unsightly phenomena. Watch below, and then read the column to see exactly why his report was so dismal.
