OK, so Tom Coburn actually said “less confidence in the Congress” and the headline writer shortened that to “Less Faith In Congress”. That is editing, not a lie, because it was not in quotation marks.

Now, “disappointment in the hinterlands” is in quotation marks in the headline because it is an actual quote. Ditto for “Cruz effect”.

Finally, we have “Tom Coburn slams” which is not in quotes, but is a reasonable editorial summation of the interview.

I think that covers all the words in the title, so where do you see a lie?

OK Mr sniveler, let’s brew it down to the reality of Coburn’s complaint:

Cruz’ principled resistance put the very unprincipled Cloburn on the spot for his destructive compromises, and that hurt his feelings.

You appear to be more of Coburn’s kind than Cruz’ kind, in my estimation.

Its all in the reading comprehension.

I’m trying hard in this post not to directly call you anything.
