Hah! Life imitates art.

In an effort to improve relations with America's "Liberal Press" (ah - the wonderful SCLM) the White House has opened a new adjunct to the Press Room department, creating "suggested headlines" for newspapers so as to lessen the editorial pressure of meeting publishing deadlines.

Thanks to Doug Richardson at The Agonist for the tipoff.

Perhaps they'll print a disclaimer: "Caution! This headline 'suggested' by the White House and may not reflect facts or reality."

Yabbut, wouldn't that constitute "truthiness" Gordo? I don't think the news media, expecially the print media, are allowed that option.
