Could there be a more dramatically different approach between two organizations to reporting the same news as there is this morning with The Washington Post and The Washington Times? Looky below at their respective headlines and lede paragraphs on the passage of renewable energy mandates.
The House yesterday passed a far-reaching package of energy legislation that would promote conservation and the use of renewable resources at the expense of the country’s oil and gas interests.
The Times:
The Democrat-led House yesterday passed a $16 billion tax increase on the oil industry to pay for renewable energy and conservation incentives ignoring the White House’s charge that it will raise gas prices and reliance on foreign oil.
“Support” and “promote” vs. “tax” and “raising prices.” No surprises here, huh?
