Re: The dumbing down of the news

WCRB News strikes again!

On Friday's 6:00 PM newscast, Judy Ewel (sp) reported that Senators 
voted =in favor= of the first article of impeachment (perjury), 55-45.  
She actually emphasized the words "in favor."

I imagine that either the wire service reported it wrong or Ms. Ewel 
can't read.

In case you got your information from that newscast that night, it so 
happens that Senators voted =against=  55-45, with ten Republicans 
voting against.  The second article was a 50-50 split, with five 
Republicans voting against.
