Hill article -- flogged by Drudge -- ignored millions in "taxpayer money" appropriated to House GOP leadership committees

SUMMARY: An article in The Hill -- promoted by the Drudge Report -- reported that "The House Democratic Caucus spent more than $500,000 in taxpayer money over the past five years for its annual retreats at resorts in Pennsylvania and Virginia" but failed to note that House Republican leadership committees are appropriated amounts of "taxpayer money" for salaries and expenses that are comparable to the amount given to their House Democratic counterparts. Nor did The Hill discuss how the House Republican leadership committees spend their "taxpayer money."
