More Media Bias -- Against Clinton


Thanks to Media Matters' Jamison Foser for tipping us off to this one.

When asked if Clinton is electable, Tim Russert chose to cite a poll OTHER than one commissioned by his employer.

By doing so, he was able to create an impression exactly opposite the one he WOULD have created had he relied on his own network's poll. There is a reason for this.

Why would he avoid citing his own network's poll which showed her beating Rudy by five points? And instead go with another poll which allowed him to create the opposite impression?
