AP makes up headlines

You could say "fudging" or "blurs" or "misleads" but it's actually just making up headlines to get everyone all excited to believe that Pelosi has this in the bag. Things are dicey still. Pretty interesting they don't want to go home before they vote. Pretty interesting. From HealthcareBS:
In a “news” article with the misleading title, “Some House foes eye switch to ‘yes’ on health care,” the once-credible wire service begins its story with an equally dishonest lede: 
Ten House Democrats indicated in an Associated Press survey Monday they have not ruled out switching their “no” votes to “yes” on President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.
Sounds promising for Madam Speaker, does it not? But it deliberately exaggerates Pelosi’s true prospects for flipping “no” votes to “yes.” Eight paragraphs down, we find out the truth: 
In interviews with the AP, at least 10 of the 39 Democrats [who voted “No” on the original bill] either declined to state their positions or said they were undecided about the revised legislation.
