What's up with the sensationalist TPM headlines?
There currently is a TPM headline on the main page:
"Gallop: Clinton Takes the National Lead"
If we click through to the story, we see the qualifiers and a link to the source of the story. It turns out that Clinton and Obama are tied, according to the Gallup poll.
Why the tabloid headline? Its misleading, and also - as revealed on the Gallup website, factually incorrect.
How about a more accurate:
"Gallop: Clinton and Obama in Statistical dead heat"
