Propaganda at HuffPo

McCainHuff.jpg

That's the headline at the Huffington Post, but even by their own sorry standards it's a disgrace.

What McCain actually said today:

The dramatic reduction in violence has opened the way for a return to something approaching normal political and economic life for the average Iraqi.

I don't think it would be a particularly bold to claim that, of the highly trafficked political websites in this country, the Huffington Post is the most propagandistic. The dreck that they publish from Hollywood actors and Democratic politicians is hyper-partisan, juvenile, and generally uninformed, but not shockingly so. It's the headlines that are egregious.

When HuffPo was started up it was supposed to be the left's answer to the bias they perceived in the Drudge Report. Instead we've now got our very own version of Pravda--and with a similar sense of journalistic integrity.
