<p>In teasing a July 16 washingtonpost.com <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200707150001&http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2007/07/13/DI2007071301490.html">online discussion</a>
in which <i>Weekly Standard</i> editor
William Kristol will discuss his July 15 <i>Washington
Post</i> <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200707150001&http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/13/AR2007071301709.html?hpid=opinionsbox1">op-ed</a>, headlined "Why Bush Will be a
Winner," the <i>Post</i>&#39;s website asserted as fact
that the Bush administration has had "remarkable -- and often ignored
successes." The tease stated in full that
"Weekly Standard Editor William Kristol will chart the remarkable -- and often
ignored -- successes of the Bush administration." This language does not appear
in Kristol&#39;s op-ed; he did not claim that the Bush administration&#39;s "successes"
have been ignored, nor did he describe these "successes" as "remarkable."</p>

<p>The tease
appeared both on the washingtonpost.com
discussion page and in a sidebar to the
online version of Kristol&#39;s op-ed:</p>
