Here at Daily Kos, I sometimes think we bash the MSM a bit more than they deserve. Sometimes. A bit.

But really, Gray Lady? The front page teaser (which is all I see, since I don’t subscribe) wrongly implies that the story is that McCarthy got 188 votes (!); instead, the story is that McCarthy only got 188 votes, leaving him far short of the 218 he’ll need when the whole House votes. Instead, the teaser expounds that this was

a successful first showing for Kevin McCarthy.

Please stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.

Other outlets, such as NPR, did better at not burying the lede:

McCarthy nominated speaker in internal GOP vote but he faces conservative resistance



Yes, NYT, the Republicans are in disarray. Admit it.
