Media myths in 2010
- Obama's numbers are plunging (they're not).
- People like Republicans better than Democrats (they don't.)
And now you can add:
- Health care reform is a political winner for the GOP because people didn't want this bill to do too much, and now they want it repealed (actually, people wanted this bill to do more):
President Barack Obama's health care overhaul has divided the nation, and Republicans believe their call for repeal will help them win elections in November. But the picture's not that clear cut.
A new AP poll finds that Americans who think the law should have done more outnumber those who think the government should stay out of health care by 2-to-1.
Oops. Correction in small print tomorrow on page 37.
