Media outlets with even passing fluency in U.S. politics should know by now that it’s unwise to take their cues from Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. That is just best practice, but it’s a particularly useful rule as it relates to controversial legislation. If there’s one thing for which Greene can be relied upon, it is to misrepresent the views of her opponents.

In general, the press is aware of Greene’s reliable unreliability, and they do their best to inform their readers of that condition. That imperative is, apparently, easily discarded when the representative provides media venues with the opportunity to bash Israel’s American supporters.
