The Washington Post Provides Cover for Republicans

Ah yes, the Washington Post is at it again. Check out this headline: Senate Blocks Legislation to Extend Bush-Era Tax Cuts. If you read the headline and nothing more, you’d think the vote was pretty heavily on the side of blocking the legislation, with Democrats and Republicans alike taking part in it. But that isn’t the case. The vote to proceed was 58-36, two Republican votes shy of what was needed to move forward. So “the Senate” didn’t block the legislation, Republicans did.
Remember this the next time you hear the righties whine about how “liberal” the Washington Post is.
