What media bias?


iconMy compliments to James Taranto to pointing out this bit of fuzzy math by Reuters.

"Now It's Official: Economy Shrunk"--headline, Reuters, Aug. 27

"U.S. gross domestic product--which measures total output within the nation's borders--expanded at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the second quarter."--Reuters, same story

This goes back to the definition of a cut.
