This is vintage Weekly Standard.
You know that Politico/George Washington University Battleground Tracking Poll that was just released? The one I cited earlier today? The one, as Politico reported, that finds "President Barack Obama has recaptured a narrow national lead over Mitt Romney"?
Well here's how Fred Barnes at the Weekly Standard originally reported it: "The bipartisan Battleground Poll, in its 'vote election model,' is projecting that Mitt Romney will defeat President Obama 52 percent to 47 percent."
Not a word ... not ... a ... word ... about Obama's actual lead in the poll.
Only later did Barnes provide this "update": "Politico reports on the poll's top-line: Obama 49, Romney 48 percent. But it is the noteworthy last paragraph from [the Republican pollster's internal] memo that we're referring to."
The Weekly Standard. Integrity. Always, integrity.
