Newsweek Editor Speaks Out On Missing Hillary Poll Numbers

From TPM Cafe - Election Central:


So I just got off the phone with Newsweek editor Jon Meacham. As noted below, the mag's big cover story on Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama this week is taking a beating in the liberal blogosphere because it failed to include poll numbers taken by the mag that showed Clinton beating John McCain and Rudy Giuliani in head-to-head matchups -- numbers which you'd think are relevant to the story.

Rather than include the numbers in the story, the mag released them on PR Newswire yesterday -- where they were likely to go unseen by the great majority of Newsweek readers. The Clinton camp is privately demanding an explanation from Meacham.
