8. Note to the Atlantic Wire - Republican talking points are not always correct
Thu Jan 17, 2013, 10:54 AM
Jan 2013

I noted this yesterday because this was really media whore reporting. The Boston Herald GOP resident columnist had been trying to create some news concerning the election (and who knows, try to get Scott Brown to run, as he seems reluctant).

Well, of course, last night, the hearing dates were set and the same reporter (or blogger) from the Atlantic Wire who posted as a fact that the hearing could be delayed is now posting that uh, no, they will be right when they were set. Do not expect any acknowledgement that yesterday report was uhm, let's say skewed by biased sources. Just forget what he/she said yesterday.
