DeLay Spin

Surprisingly enough conservative news outlets handled today's Tom DeLay ruling completely differently. Dan Solove was kind enough to compile the different headlines.

The (truly) surprising thing though, is that the New York Times is by far the most objective of the headlines. While all the other outlets focus on either a charge being dropped or charges being held, the New York Times says it like it most objectively was. Of course you would never guess that given all the shit they get, but it is interesting to actually see it in progress.
