Yahoo! pro-McLoser spin FAIL.
From the Yahoo! front page seconds ago:

Polls show race tightening
John McCain narrows the gap on Barack Obama, but it’s not all good news for him....

Latest Election Polls and Coverage

Candidates Poll Averages
McCain (R) 43.9% (down) 0.1%
Obama (D) 49.9% - -


So McLoser has somehow managed to "narrow" the gap -- by minus a tenth of a percent! :rofl: Call it "No Candidate Left Behind"...

Why all the Faux-like spin at Yahoo! , anyway? I thought the tech industry, by and large, was on our side...

1. The tech industry is on our side, but Yahoo is a failing media company with a Fox partnership

6. Fox partnership? That explains a lot
Their headlines are mostly negative on Obama and mostly echoing McCain's attacks.

7. It has been more that recent weeks
It has been recent months. I used to have Yahoo as my default page but the bias turned me off and I have changed it.
