"Republicans pounced."

It is such a worn journalistic trope that it has become the object of mockery whenever some brave but foolish member of the media dares to use it yet again. But what if the subject who supposedly pounced is not even a Republican? Well, that is apparently no problem for the Philadelphia Inquirer which conveniently relabeled the person in question, in this case Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as a Republican via the use of blatant misinformation despite the reporters piously lecturing the readers about, yes, misinformation.

This mighty feat of stupendous hypocrisy was performed on Friday by Aubrey Whelan and Henry Savage in "How two deaths in a Pennsylvania measles outbreak led to a clash between Gov. Josh Shapiro and RFK Jr."

Pounced? The leftist media make it sound like anyone who dares point out a Democrat lie is Tigger.
