Getting the poll results you want

Happy New Year to everyone from Paris. Hope everyone had fun last night celebrating. We had a quiet dinner at home last night and barely stayed awake until midnight. Real party animals, indeed. Yesterday I blogged about the article which talked about the optimism for 2010. Later in the day another media outlet (CNN, maybe?) had the same story but focused on the negative side of the report. Compared to the last poll a few years back, there was less optimism. Same story, different focus. Not quite the same but it reminded me of this great clip from the old BBC comedy, Yes, Prime Minister.
