Stop & Smell the Political Prose(s)

Lies. Fake news. President Trump and his staff have been smearing journalism with these labels since the start of his presidency.

Because of that, I wasn’t surprised to hear that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo avoided answering interview questions on NPR and released an angry statement against reporter Mary Louise Kelly.

But reporter Jason Breslow creatively caught my attention with an intriguing headline:

Pompeo Won’t Say If He Owes Yovanovitch an Apology. ‘I’ve Done What’s Right.’

After that, Breslow created bold subheadings to sustain my curiosity.

But creativity aside, would this article pass John McManus’s “SMELL” Test?

It’s time for us to stop and smell the prose(s).
