As Twitchy told you earlier, Nancy Pelosi basically handed the GOP its midterm ad campaign on a silver platter when she said that the Democrats will raise taxes if they take back the House. But that’s not the story here. At least not according to USA Today:
Republicans pounce, take a shot!!! https://t.co/NDVNfrB4fD pic.twitter.com/vMMIMzFAva

Because of course.
This headline from @USATODAY should probably just be "Pelosi Says Democrats Would Raise Taxes if They Win Majority," but of course, the Republicans are pouncing againhttps://t.co/lK1xgzpa1e

Remember, the headline couldn't just be what Pelosi said. It must be immediately neutralized with "Republicans seize on" or "Republicans pounce," per law. https://t.co/NDVNfrB4fD

Never fails.
They couldn't just say "Nancy Pelosi vows to increase taxes." https://t.co/lCENXpE4EL

Works every time it’s tried.

LOL. @USATODAY still literally using the phrase "Republicans Pounce." Unreal. https://t.co/vjRHoBqf8h

So much pouncing!
USA Today seizes on Republicans pouncing on Pelosi's tax increase comments. https://t.co/lCM9gYrqre

You'd think they'd avoid the word "pounce" to make it at least a little less obvious. https://t.co/C1DwYBwYVF

Seriously. Where’s their spirit of spontaneity? It’s sad enough that we can’t take the media seriously. The least they could do is try to keep us on our toes. But is there anyone who didn’t see the “pounce” angle coming from a million miles away?
Republicans always attack, pounce, etc. Democrats always criticize, take issue with, etc. #BiasedMedia

Keep up the good work, USA Today and friends. It’s working out great for you so far.
