How It’s Being Spun: Center

When reporting the plea of Papadopoulos, most news outlets have been reliable and consistent. As this event largely mimics the Manafort and Gates indictments, there have not been many discrepancies to misinterpret in reports. This time, however, the reporting by these outlets, such as NPR, has been made even more reliable by the fact that the only thing to report has been confirmed by the person who is being accused. This increases the reliability of these outlets as there is no issue of “did this happen?” to cloud the assumptions of guilt.
