3. I try to avoid "blaming" the media for things... but...
I've noticed this as well. Another example was last week on Hardball during the time there were two polls out on Iowa - one showed Obama - Edwards - Hillary and the other (Bloomberg, I believe) showed Hillary - Edwards - Obama. The poll Tweety chose to trumpet was the one with Obama in the lead EVEN THOUGH he also trumpeted the GOP numbers from the Bloomberg poll (but didn't mention the Dem numbers.)

The more Tweety and his guest (a guy who works for NPR and advertising) discussed the various campaign commercials, the more I expected Matthew's table to rise from the force of the boners the two were obviously getting.
