No, you read with eyes that like the article.
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. The one quote I mentioned, stuck in there with no real expository (but plenty of editorial) purpose, was what tipped me off.
Short timeline of US entry into WWII:
December 7, 1941: Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
December 8, 1941: FDR asks Congress to declare war on Japan. Congress votes to declare war.
Spun version:
December 7, 1941: The cruel Japanese spring a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
December 8, 1941: FDR (who may have known about the attack ahead of time) asks Congress to declare war on Japan. Congress votes to declare war.
A timeline is just the facts. Too much editorial in this for it to be a timeline. This is a setup for something else, later. As witness:
Not that you will hear it from the MSM.
There’s more to say, but for now that’s quite enough.
