Inside The Spin Zone

So Paul Bedard‘s Washington Whispers column has an item today about how Barack Obama is “Sunday poison” in the D.C. ratings market. More nationally, though, the numbers clearly show that Obama is anything but “Sunday poison.” As Bedard also reports, “his appearances helped This Week and Face the Nation gain a second-place finish to NBC’s Meet the Press.” It’s an interesting item less for its news and more for its approach.

We read the item with one question in mind: Where did it come from? Well, it wasn’t any of the Big Three networks, who have been fighting to land Obama, and have good ratings to show for doing so.
