Something About Nothing

I found this very straight forward commentary on the Real Clear Politics blog. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/blog The commentary on this article is very to the point in shaming The Huffington Post for not reporting on real news and trying to sell papers with tabloid headlines. This blog is more associated with right wing politics, but this commentary is really for all to read. The author of the blog also goes on to point out more major news of the day and scolds The Huffington Post for not reporting real news and distorting the conversation of two senators to sell papers. This was written by Tom Bevan and he backs up his claim with a fact check by The New York Times. I completely agree with the author on this subject. Whatever happened to reporting the news? This paper shamelessly distorted the context of two senators just to sell some papers. I would expect such things from the tabloids by a grocery store checkout line but not a real news paper. Just like the author points out in his blog this was a headline on a day when the President announced his plans and policy for Afghanistan. It is funny that I could not find a commentary on that particular subject.
