Fuzzy Math

It's just a trivial matter but it's irritating and a perfect illustration of the petty bias of the MSM.

Fred Thompson released his fundraising figures for the month of June announcing the figure to be $3.46 million. Every single news source including CBS, NBC, ABC, Wapo, NYT, LA Times, AP, CNN and a myriad of others listed in their reports that Thompson had collected $3.4 million. A few had the chutzpa to round down even further to $3 million. Only Fox accurately rounded the figure up, as we all learned in Middle school math, to the correct $3.5 million figure.

Trivial, absolutely, but it's just another example of the 1000s of lies we have become accustomed to and many cases accepting of from the Press.
