We’re all for keeping government small where appropriate, which is, ideally, most places.
But we’re not all for the blatant pattern of subjective misrepresentation that goes on, virtually unchecked, all over the Internet — including by sites that are routinely, well, cited.
In this Post, a Biggovernment.com writer starts blatantly spinning in the second sentence (emphasis added):
