Once again, the spin of the week goes to The Australian (link) - this time for Dennis Shanahan’s effort in portraying polls showing an electoral massacre for the Government as “good news” for Mr Howard and Co. As Peter Brent puts it:
Never before in the history of opinion polls have such diabolical numbers for a political party been so spruced up as those in today’s Australian. According to Mr Shanahan, “John Howard and the Coalition have got a polling breather.”
You can see some actual analysis of the latest Newspoll and AC Nielsen polls here and here respectively.
