The Washington Post’s headline on a DeMint profile is pretty annoying: “S.C. Senator Is a Voice Of Reform Opposition.” Voice of Liberalism Opposition, maybe, if we must use this weird syntax. But it’s especially galling given that the DNC is running ads that accuse DeMint of being for doing nothing about health care — ads that some cable companies have refused to air because they are inaccurate. Robert Samuelson, on the Washington Post op-ed page, recently noted that it is misleading, or at least tendentious, to describe what the Democrats are trying to enact on Capitol Hill as health-care “reform.” Too bad his colleagues at the news desk aren’t reading him.
