Get the Spin Built In

by Jay Allbritton
Checkout the way Reuters tells the story of the EPA's decision to delay permits for mountaintop mining in Appalachia:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mining companies accused the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday of ignoring America's need for affordable energy and hurting workers in a poor region of the country by delaying permits for proposed surface, or "mountaintop," mines in Appalachia.
You see that? It's a story about the criticism the EPA got for delaying the permits rather than a story about the delay. Thanks for the pre-spun news.
