The “news” and the truth rarely intersect

The first is the Denver Post headline of an Associated Press story. The second is from the New York Times’ coverage of the same event.
These disparate views of a singular meeting gives one pause. Do not trust the “news” until you have had the opportunity to review as many different accounts of the event as possible.
Then doubt it some more.
(I didn’t link to the Post story because the online version has a different headline now. I have picture of the headline in the hard copy of the paper that was delivered to my house.)

He even uses big words, like “manifest”. And what the heck is up with these capitalistic socialists? Where do they get off charging a dollar [...]
