The Spin

Don't you just get tired of the 24hr spin?

This is a tast of Dirty Harry's comparison of the media coverage on proposed Social Security reform.

Los Angeles Times:

1998 An effort "to craft a bipartisan bill to assure Social Security's solvency."

2005 "The White House has made a lot of Republicans walk the plank on this. Now it sounds as if they are sawing off the board."

The Washington Times

1998 "A bold move to put the future of the massive retirement program at the top of his agenda."

2005 "But the president declined to take ownership of any of these politically risky changes, offering them instead as the ideas offered in the past by other politicians, all Democrats as it turned out"
