Misleading headline/tweet on the Barr letter

The media must be careful to report that we have seen the Barr letter, not the Mueller report. This is Barr’s interpretation.

Great headline writing.

Excellent, terse, fair, neither over- nor under-selling the news. https://t.co/X4SpDvJqe1

This is how it should be done.

You have the report? Please share! https://t.co/kCyEIEVhaD

It seems like it’s pretty easy to choose words that don’t suggest to casual readers that we are now fully “after” a report that hasn’t been released yet. pic.twitter.com/BUZzJNgwQQ
