Over past week, the White House has been doing something a lot of us were wondering if they were ever going to do: fighting back. As part of that effort, the White House appears to have started a regular media fact-check. Sunday, the fact-check focused on a Walter Pincus/Dana Milbank report in the Washington Post. Today the fact-check takes on the New York Times editorial page.

I think the White House has a good strategy here. It’s best to start with the easy targets and move up from there.
