Writing “truthies,” or “false but accurate,” or “feelings” make a journalist?

Major stories on misdeeds(R) but next to nothing in misdeeds(D).

Put (R) in headline but put (D) in last paragraph, if at all.

I like how they use the convention of (Rep.) Jim Smith, CA when the congressman is in trouble and is a Dem.

The Rep = Representative, but the casual reader would think he's a Pubbie. The DBM does this on TV all the time.
