Globe jumps the gun in online map goof
EXCERPT
“It was a test on a tool and it meant nothing. I don’t know how these things happen,” said the executive assistant to the editor of boston.com. The editor, David Beard, has yet to return a call to the Herald.
The boston.com map called the race for Coakley 50 percent to state Sen. Scott Brown’s 49 percent. Independent Joseph L. Kennedy, no relation to the Kennedy clan, comes in last with a mere 1 percent.
Ouch.
The bogus map shows Coakley capturing most of eastern Massachusetts all the way to the tip of Cape Cod.
Brown was big, in the Globe’s wish map, taking the North Shore.
At least the media is reporting it.
I agree.
I don’t know how these things happen,”
Well heck, that's easy. If you're gonna fill data in to test your table and map, why not do it so it comes out the way you'd like? That way you can drive conservatives nuts thinking there's a conspiracy going on.
What’s that song?
PANTS DOWN?
