-- Amy Goodman, Democracy Now, Headlines, February 12, 2008. Pay attention, Goody, news does not predict, news certainly doesn't predict before the voting starts.

Possibly Amy Goodman could rush over to the Psychic Hotline? Peter Hart rightly pointed out that the MSM failure on New Hampshire was not because the polling was wrong, it was because they passed polling off as news. As Marcia noted, "Amy Goodman needs a tutor."
