Two Headlines+One Committee=MSM Love!
A pair of headlines in today’s Washington Post illustrate perfectly why the ISG report isn’t worth a plugged nickel. I don’t believe the Post intended for the headlines to work that way, since the articles really do carry the water for the “brave ISG stands up to evil President” narrative of the past month.
