There seems to be no category for my comment so I will just leave it where it is and see what happens.
I thought the lead news stories are supposed to be news, not op-ed pieces. Brooks Jackson's story about Obama's recent misleading ad may be fact but so are many of Romney's ads. Mr. Jackson runs fact checker. Great! Terrific! Then, that's where this story should be presented ... along with all of the other incorrect, misleading facts by opponents. Running this story as an isolated one, strictly about President Obama's mis-stated facts implies and therefore favors Romney as some sort of honest, forthright person. This is, of course, hogwash. Mr. Jackson wants to let us know not just about the President's lack of correctness, he continues on to inform us of Mr. Romney's even, centrist stand on the current issues. For this writer to believe that a man who represented himself one way for an entire career, a full primary and subsequent presidential campaign to suddenly become a centrist, even-handed thinker during three 90 minute debates tells me two things: 1) Mr. Jackson is a Republican backing Romney and 2) the Yahoo homepage editor approved this nonsense and doesn't know the difference between news and op-ed. Oh, and maybe a third thing: Did you guys lose money from Bernie Madoff?
