Longtime readers of this blog know I’m amused when my RSS newsreader stacks links to coverage of the same news that have headlines and ledes that seem contradictory:

New York Times: “Inflation Was Tame in October”

Lede: “Inflation remains contained despite high oil prices and a record low dollar, a government report showed today, offering some reassurance to the Federal Reserve as it considers lowering interest rates at its next meeting.

AP: “Consumer Prices Up 0.3 Percent”

Lede: “Consumer inflation posted another elevated reading in October as energy prices shot up by the fastest pace in five months.”
