This post is not about misleading headlines

Today, Real Clear Politics breathlessly reported that Biden is less popular than Cheney. Is.

The only issue is that they are comparing both of them at the beginning of their term. This is a perfectly reasonable comparison, of course, as it would speak to how they got elected and what people think so far.

The only minor problem is that the headline attempts to make comparisons to the two men in general. Today. You would think a right-leaning publication would be aware of the consequences of parsing the word "is."

For what it's worth, Cheney left office with:
1) An failed pardon attempt for Scooter Libby
2) A man-sized secret safe
3) A 13% approval rating

Biden currently has:
1) Arguably no control over what he says
2) No idea how to spell the word "jobs"
3) A 51% apprvoal rating

That said, it worked, because I did click on their post. Tricky bastards.
