The Hill helpfully provides another example of a phenomenon I detailed in Red Hot Lies, in which the media ignore inconvenient developments but, when the Left organizes a response, find that response somehow newsworthy.

Today’s example is even sadder than most. It begins, “The Energy Department fired back at a Spanish university study that found government subsidies to support renewable energy development in that country actually cost jobs.” It continues with no opposing view, with no indication that the reporter understands the issue or what’s been said (or the often-silly nature of it, as already noted on PG).

In short, just doin’ their part.
