Bloggers expose WaPo failures on study story

Did you read about that now debunked "study" the Washington Post reported on in "rah-rah" terms?

According to The Post, two researchers found liberal Democrats were less racists than you know who. The way The Post reported it, the study sounded very scientific.

But The Post didn't tell its faithful readers the "researchers" were liberal Democratic activists. Or that serious researchers refer to the study's methodology as "soft science," which is a polite way of saying the "results" tell us more about the "researchers" than the subjects.

But before you knew it, GAZOOM!! The bloggers! A truth attack!

Michelle Malkin led the charge, exposing the "researchers" liberal and methodological biases.

Here in North Carolina, David Boyd joined the charge, and added his own useful contribution.

Thanks, Michelle and David.

And if you have time for a question: When do you think lib Dems will realize bloggers are making it a lot harder for them to fool people?
