"We urge them to choose Obama. Obama represents a fresh start."
- NY Post
Keep reading for the rest of the story.
This is when the Post endorsed Obama over Hillary Clinton in the primaries. The words I have quoted above are directly from the Post's website. They leave out important information though, such as the fact that the endorsement was for the primaries, along with surrounding text:
"We urge them to choose Obama - an untried candidate, to be sure, but preferable to the junior senator from New York. Obama represents a fresh start."
In the presidential race, it comes as no surprise to anyone that the Post has endorsed John McCain.
This is a fine example of a half truth: "New York Post says 'Obama represents a fresh start.'" It's the kind of technique Fux News uses regularly, except without the explanation of the trick.
