Wash Post is At It Again!

STOP THE PRESSES! Hillary Clinton gave away more money to charity than she reported! That's right, frontpage of the WashPost [1] is dedicated to this sinister scandal!

Jonathan Chait at the New Republic [2] covers the hyperventalating details from the Washington Post over this non-story re: Hillary Clinton.

I mean, maybe--maybe--that's a one-paragraph item somewhere in the back. But this is a major front page story. And the story doesn't even try to explain why this is a matter of public concern. As it reports:

 

 

Clinton's spokesman said her failure to report the existence of the family foundation and the senator's position as an officer was an oversight. Her office immediately amended her Senate ethics reports to add that information late yesterday after receiving inquiries from The Washington Post.

"The details of the Clintons' charitable family foundation and Senator Clinton's role in it have always been publicly available, but, in an oversight that leaders of both parties have made, it was inadvertently omitted from her Senate filing, which has been corrected," Hillary Clinton's press secretary, Philippe Reines, said yesterday.

 

 

So that's it? What exactly is the angle here? "Clinton Office Behind on Paperwork"? "Clinton More Generous Than She Admits"? What?

Nice catch Chait! [3]
