HEADLINES PROVE CONFUSING

News that the vaccine trials produced dismal results has produced a number of unusual headlines today. You'd think there'd be some consistancy. But then, you'd be wrong. The mainstream media is spinning this story a dozen different ways.

When you read something in the paper, or hear it on TV, take note. The following headlines are
all on the same story.

Vaccine May Help Bird Flu - ClickOnDetroit.com

Bird Flu Vaccine Ineffective - USA TODAY

Early testing shows U.S. bird flu vaccine modestly effective - Dallas Morning News

Bird flu vaccine shows some promise, scientists say - Santa Barbara News Press

1st Bird-Flu Vaccine Only Partly Effective - WRAL.COM

Bird flu vaccine falls short - kare11.com


Well, which is it guys? Effective? Ineffective? Partly Effective? Falls short? Shows promise?

Surprisingly, USA TODAY is the only one that got it right.

If you're gonna B.S. the public, the least you could do is agree on the propaganda message!
