ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO CONCEAL

Lately I was in a small city that supported B.O. in the disastrous election, though its state voted, as did the majority of them, with sanity.

In its newspaper I read that national S.A.T. scores have again declined; Congrats to No Child Left Behind and other federal toilet flushes of our hard-earned bucks.

The headline said that race and gender gaps in scores had widened, but the article said NOTHING, not one word, about what races and what genders had done better or worse than others, so naturally no quantitative comparison of differences.

Why wouldn't a "news" source even take the trouble to support its headline claim? Was it concealing something, do you suppose? qv my recent post on "news" media reliability and dirty tricks.
