Politico Headline: "Poor Attendance at ObamaCare Event in Virginia"
Improved Politico Headline: "Obamacare message war goes local"

Via Google you can see the original headline, a bit of a downer for cocooned liberal partisan news consumers, but Politico decided the real news was that ObamaCare messaging has now gone local.

Interesting headline change. http://t.co/3D8PDkquL5 http://t.co/vmyrg1IWs8

The first headline was not inaccurate -- one lone Cultist showed up for the Exalted and Ancient Rites of Communal Health.

So why the change from Interesting News to Uninteresting Non-News? Well, it's possible the White House complained. And it's possible Politico readers complained -- they don't want the news, they want a uniformly partisan messaging center they can link for their friends on FaceBook in order to Win Political Arguments.

And that's what the news is, isn't it?

Via Lachlan, thanks to @slublog.

Funky Link: I don't know what's going on but the Google Cached links are now returning the New and Improved Politico story.
