Reporting what they wanted to hear


iconRemember last week when it was widely reported that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said that the Republicans should move to the left? Well, it turns out that isn't what he said.

What was reported by the mainstream media:

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested in a German newspaper interview published Saturday that the Republican Party should move "a little to the left," a shift that he said would allow it to pick up new voters.
What Arnold actually said:
"I think that right now the Republican Party is all the way from the right to the center, and the Democratic Party is all the way from the left to the center," he said.

"And I'd like the Republican Party to cross that center line. Keep it to the right, where it is. But I mean, cross over that center line a little bit, because they would take immediately away 5 percent from the Democrats and you're home free for good."

There is a pretty big difference between 'moving to the left' and expanding to include more of those in the center.
