Weekly signature series
Spin vs. Reality
Each week, one story the media got wrong. Daniel sets the headline against the primary sources (rulings, filings, statutes and transcripts) and shows you what the record actually says.
The Spin
- The headline as it was reported
- The framing and what got left out
- Who is pushing it, and why
The Reality
- What the documents actually say
- The full context, in plain English
- The constitutional principle at stake
