WaPo’s Filibuster Headline Deception
WaPo has a story titled Filibuster Rule Change Opposed. It includes this:
But by a 2 to 1 ratio, the public rejected easing Senate rules in a way that would make it harder for Democratic senators to prevent final action on Bush’s nominees.
While the sentence is true, the headline is decidedly deceptive. The questions in the poll do not even mention the filibuster at all, nor do the describe it. (See questions 34 and 36). The relevant question is really #36.
Would you support or oppose changing Senate rules to make it easier for the Republicans to confirm Bush’s judicial nominees?
The results indicate 26% support, and 66% oppose, but to pull the headline “Filibuster Rule Change Opposed” out of this is at best a stretch.
