75. It's way beyond cherry-picked, it's utter distortion. "Obama calls for missile strikes"...
The headline "Democratic keynote speaker Barack Obama calls for missile strikes on Iran" - is utter bullshit, and intentionally misleading.

How did the article conclude that Obama was advocating missile strikes against Iraq, when during the same interview, he said: "In light of the fact that we're now in Iraq, with all the problems in terms of perceptions about America that have been created, us launching some missile strikes into Iran is not the optimal position for us to be in," he said.

That's hardly "calling for missile strikes", is it?
