Wash. Post, LA Times uncritically quoted White House assertion that it opposes war funding bill because it includes domestic spending

SUMMARY: In articles reporting the White House's threat to veto a supplemental war funding bill, The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times uncritically quoted Dana Perino saying, "This is the wrong way to consider domestic spending, and Congress should not go down this path." But neither the Times nor the Post pointed out that President Bush signed supplemental war funding bills that included domestic spending in June 2006 and December 2005.
