Cherry-Picking = 'Comprehensive'
Topic: NewsBusters

From an Oct. 2 NewsBusters post by Ken Shepherd:

It doesn't take you a comprehensive Media Research Center study to know that the Huffington Post is a leftist site. Of course, MRC/NewsBusters' Tim Graham did such a study, but it's common knowledge in the media that HuffPo skews leftward.

In fact, Graham's "study" wasn't "comprehensive" at all but, rather, a cherry-picking of a mere 19 blog posts Graham deemed offensive out of the tens of thousands to be found at HuffPo.

The fact that they think cherry-picking is the same thing as doing a "comprehensive" study explains all you need to know about the MRC.
