Spinning the Chomsky interview (This is laughable)

Al Jazeera interviewed Noam Chomsky.
They reported it online with this headline:

Noam Chomsky: Bernie Sanders has the best policies


Politico retold the story under this headline:

Chomsky: I'd 'absolutely' vote for Hillary Clinton

which is how it appeared this morning here on DU.

So which should you believe.

North Korea's nuclear technicians may want to look into it, to see if they can harness the centrifugal effects of this kind of thing.

Noam Chomsky's First Campaign Contribution Was To Bernie Sanders*
Online FEC records dating back to 1997 show he's given to just two candidates.[/i
