The eye of the beholder ?

... or the spin of the reporter?

Check out this sequence from Reuters on the French presidential candidates' debate:

...
Sarkozy, Royal go on offensive in French TV debate.

... No winner seen in French TV presidential debate.

... Sarkozy seen winner of French election debate: poll.

Here's the Times of London: Royal takes the battle to Sarkozy.

The Washington Post didn't quite see that way: Debate Turns Bitter as France's Presidential Rivals Trade Jabs.

Here's a PJM report: Debating in French (which seems to reflect what the poll indicates).

And here's Battle Royal.

My impression is Sarkozy won.
