<<<I guess I was unclear on the way that people would vote. I gave it a "5"-highest, because I want to see much more of this sort of coverage.>>>

I did also, and for about the same reason. Otherwise, a 4 would probably be generous. I'll usually deduct at least 2 points for propaganda, and another for not sticking to the theme of the headline. I don't think comments from the Bush PR representatives are appropriate in an article about objections to his ad campaign. A separate article titled, "Bush flunkies defend tasteless ads" would be the proper form. I was favorably impressed by the fact some of those fighting on the front line for a real investigation were allowed to comment. Most days the press goes out of their way to avoid quoting anything they have to say.

<<<Currently there are 4,300+ reader ratings on the article, which has now been up for about 3 hours. The most responses
I've found to any of another 10 stories is 134 votes.>>>

Almost 6000 now where most days a fairly actively rated article sees maybe 500.
