Scott Walker narrowly survives recall election. - freeradical - 06-06-2012
I'm not sure how you can call these results "narrow", but it is what the NYT claims...fair and balanced...

These are partial results. Still a lot of votes to come from Milwaukee County. Let's see how close it is when all the votes are counted.

The word "narrowly" appears nowhere in the story you've linked to.
Either way, it's terrible news.

The original story did say narrowly. Creative editing on their part...

If you scroll down, they seem to have thought earlier on that the exit polls indicated a squeaker. They're not hiding anything, it's all still there.

Then it must have been closer when the ran they original story. When it became not close, they edited the headline. That is as it should be.
I'm sure you'll be reporting the next egregious distortion from Fox, won't you?

One more time we see the psy op at work by the media. If you believed them, Walker was toast. Republicans "overreached" and alienated "moderates" and "swing voters". They are "extreme". Democrat turn out was heavy alright but looks like they voted for Walker! That is the only explanation for such a lopsided win.

recalls are exceptionally hard to accomplish. This is by no means a strong win by Walker.

Absolutely everything I saw prior to the recall vote led me to expect this outcome.
Can you link to something representative of what you're talking about?
