Otherwise, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln

I meant to link this one yesterday.  Twitchy: "RCP’s Tom Bevan highlights how far the media (WaPo in this case) will go to ‘soften the blow of bad news for Biden’."

In short, the Washington Post said the highest rise in inflation since 2008 isn't so bad if you ignore food and gasoline.  Ya know, stuff people need to survive.  

Let's just remove a couple of key drivers of inflation so the number doesn't look as bad, shall we?

This kind of stuff drives me crazy. Media going out of its way to soften blow of bad news for Biden, when for 4 years they would, on a daily basis, do the opposite for Trump. pic.twitter.com/AErfpTt0fo
