Post Headline Mangles Hillary Clinton Remarks

But per Brooklyn-based Business Insider politics reporter Colin Campbell, the front page of today’s print editions (above) is completely off the transcription track:

The phrase “stupid policy” doesn’t appear anywhere in The Atlantic‘s 6,200-word transcript of the Clinton interview where she criticized President Barack Obama.

Also, though Clinton talked about Obama’s self-proclaimed “don’t do stupid stuff” policy, she never dismissed it as “stupid.”
