Do Lie, Do Tell
A headline at Tucker Faye Karlason's Daily Choler reads:
Polls show service members oppose gays in military as Gates and Mullen prepare to testify on Don't Ask Don't Tell
How does Bow-Tie Boy lie? Let us count the ways.
1. The story cites one purported DADT poll, not polls.
2. The purported poll cited is a December 2008 Military Times poll. Not a poll taken as Gates and Mullen prepare to testify.
3. The 2008 Military Times survey was not a poll of service members, but a summary of responses to an e-mail sent by Military Times to its subscribers.
As someone once said, "Everything [Tucker] wrote is a lie, including 'and' and 'the.'"
