The Washington Post featured an extraordinary exercise in mind reading on page 3 today. The article, which carries the subhead, “candidates gravitate to potential job creators rather than unemployed,” told readers:
“the contenders in the GOP field appear to be spending most of their time with those they think could be the solution to the country’s economic hardship (business owners) rather than those who are most directly experiencing the hardship (people out of work).”
Of course the Post has no idea what the Republican presidential candidates think. A serious newspaper would restrict itself to telling readers what the candidates do and say.
