Annals of Journalism, issue 1

In an article about two Democrats recalled for helping to pass awful Colorado gun laws, Sean Sullivan writes in paragraph three:

On one end, the National Rifle Association dished out six figures. On the other, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg did too.

You could easily imagine that Bloomberg responded to NRA in kind, if you aren't attentive enough. But deeply inside... woa:

And the anti-recall side easily outraised the pro-recall interests.

The article looked like Mr. Sullivan tried to pass for an objective journalist, and it's almost there, but no cigar. Maybe it's his editor's paw prints.

P.S. Just so you know, although it's not mentioned in the article, Obama won Morse's district by 21% and Giron's district by 19% a year ago.

1 I heard the figure on the ratio of anti to pro recall was 8:1. It's pretty crazy that even with that, and being in Pro-obama districts, they still managed a recall.
