NYT: JEBWORLD PUSHED MITT OUT! ~ headline from the Drudge Report.

While I use and respect Matt Drudge and his report, this particular headline had nothing to do with the actual article in the NY Times.

If you read nothing else, and the vast majority of all headlines are all that folks read. If you are one of those readers, you will come away from scanning Drudge, in this case, with the opinion that Jeb Bush aggressively went after Romney, targeting him in a personal way.

While Bush's early announcement, that he was serious about running for the presidency, was a surprise to the donor pool, his action was more about sucking up as much campaign cash as possible, from all GOP hopefuls. Here is the Times headline:

Support Waning, Romney Decides Against 2016 Bid

and nothing in the article indicates a personal attack coming from J Bush.

Point of post? Its best to distrust all media, including those coming from the Right, even this blog. If an author will not verify her informational claims and/or feature misleading headlines, you will never know if you remain a casual reader. Trust and verify is the way to go, with "trust" being the second step, no?

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."

Be careful what headlines you read. Sometimes the Right is not right.
