Headlines given to George Will column shows political divide of media

In a recent column, George Will reacts mildly condescending of Rep. Barney Frank’s economic views. Frank has steadfastly sided with average workers who see wealth inequality spiraling out of control.

Will calls Frank’s views the “economic version of George W. Bush’s foreign policy” and concludes that the Financial Services Committee chairman is coherent, but not persuasive.

Of course, how editorial editors around the nation interpreted Will’s words varied wildly:

  • Frank talk about our economyFort Worth Star Telegram
  • Congressman Frank doubts the market really “lifts all boats”Pasadena Star News
  • Chairman Barney Frank’s “Boat” and What It’s Full OfTownHall.com
