“one of the facts that those of us who live in the Washington area have grown accustomed to is that the world looks different through the eyes of the reporters for the Washington Post and the reporters for the Washington Times. My wife and I sometimes play the little game of opening both papers simultaneously and looking at the two headlines side by side. Usually, the Washington Times says things that sound good from the Republican point of view and the Washington Post says things that sound good from the Democratic point of view. The interesting thing this morning is that both papers covered the same story, and both papers said basically the same thing. I went into the cloakroom, and I gathered some other papers to see if the headlines were the same there as well. I have them here. Let's start with the Washington Times and the Washington Post. The Washington Times says: Growth Erupts in Summer Order. Consumers, Businesses, Go on a Spending Spree. Out of the Washington Post--they treat that not quite as enthusiastically, but they say: U.S. Economic Growth Surges. Output Rises at the Highest Rate Since 1984, but Jobs Still Decline.”
