Headline Bias Survey

I went looking for headlines on the news regarding the dismissal of one of the indictments against Tome Delay.

New York Times
Judge Upholds Most Serious Charges Against DeLay

CNN
No headline or story Available

Washington Post
Judge Drops Conspiracy Charges Against DeLay

LA Times
No headline or story Available

BBC
Judge drops Bush ally charge (I didn't realize just being a Bush Ally was a crime!)

FOX News
Some Charges Dropped
Judge throws out conspiracy counts against DeLay

MSNBC
DeLay money-laundering charges upheld

I have to give the win to MSNBC. Not only did they put the worst spin possible on the story, they ran the headline in red!
