Post, Times don’t even come close to agreeing on what Fed Chairman has to say.

It’s rare that The New York Times ignores a chance to push for tax increases, but it was the case yesterday. Over at The Washington Post, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan’s comments before the Senate Budget Committee yesterday were described “that he expects tax increases to be part of any eventual agreement to reduce the federal budget deficit.” The Times took another approach entirely and focused on Greenspan’s call to reduce the deficit.

Sometimes, it’s easy to see how differently two newspapers look at a story. Just compare how different the two headlines appear:

Washington Post Greenspan Says He Expects Tax Increases

New York Times Greenspan Urges Congress to Rein in Federal Benefits
