Media Bias and Spin ..... Never!

Thought this was just hilariuos. Two articles on the "Most Corrupt States" and the "Least Corrupt States". Now mind you they didn't actually take into account actuall corruption just how "strong" the legislation is to prevent it. And libs wonder why their gun control logic doesn't work!

Ah, they have a one line executive summary of the piece:

"States with the worst corruption risk scores lack powerful watchdog agencies"

That really stands out, in my eyes.

Yeah, cuz we all know that laws against corruption stop corruption... oh, wait....

Interesting, but somewhat misleading. Despite the description, the first one isn't a report about The Most Corrupt States. It's a report detailing which states have the most lax anti-corruption laws. Not the same thing. . The second claims to be a report about the The Least Corrupt States, but again it simply lists which states have the strongest measures in place to prevent corruption in government. It doesn't appear to make any claims about how much corruption actually exists.

It almost looks as if they threw Michigan under the bus. Only one they got right.
