Media Bias
Today on CNN.com there was a poll:
Some 39 percent of DNC delegates were minorities. What percentage of the total GOP delegate pool are minorities?
6 percent
12 percent
17 percent
24 percent
21 percent
Media bias? You think?
Facts or no facts notwithstanding (considering that CNN probably decided several percent of the delegate pool was "not black enough" to count as a minority, but if a DNC delegate was, say, 1/16th Sioux Indian, that counted), the way in which this question was posed is a blatant display of taking sides in an issue that is, let's face it, really inconsequential as an indication of leadership ability. Which is what this whole election process *used* to be about.
