I like how today's "journalists" can take a non-statement and make it state something.

The Wash Post story (also on Huffpost) states that top admin officials won't rule out middle class tax increase. Blah Blah

Because admin officials will not say what the steps or strategies are, they "won't rule out middle class tax increases".


The National Enquirer is about the most reliable news publication out there.

1. I love the way the spin just goes in nonsensical circles.
I guess because I don't declare each day that I love fluffy bunnies... then that must mean that I hate hate hate fluffy bunnies.

2. The Post might as well be the Enquirer
What other paper has an Editorial Board that publishes an article that directly contradicts facts uncovered- and published by its own reporters a day earlier?

That rag's a laughingstock.

3. I'm sick of the Huff Post acting like Drudge in playing up anything they can to
undercut the Obama Administration EVEN when the crap has already been debunked - with "friends" like that, who needs enemies.

5. Absolutely. But at least you know who Drudge is. My problem with Huff Post
is that their headlines always indicate that something sinister is afoot even if the story contains no proof of anything of the kind.

4. The President could be standing next to a journalist and...
the journalist will quote an anonymous source stating what Obama said. Obama has said that he is available for questions. But they still continue with rumors from who knows who.
