Stealth edit. You claimed the title did not mention Trump as evidence of media bias. The title explicitly does. > The media will either spin this as ineffective, or simply won't report it The media will not report it? Then how are we seeing this story?

Nope, not a stealth edit. I deleted that part of it within seconds. The HN title is U.S. sets 5-year and lifetime lobbying ban for officials. The moment I realized that this was not the title of the article itself, and before you posted your comment, I deleted that part of it. The media will not report it? Then how are we seeing this story? Most people do not get their news straight from the AP. It will be fascinating to see this story get spun and spun again by the likes of CNN, MSNBC, etc.

  It has already been reported on news sites. Just to name a few. Not much "spin" that I can tell: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-sets-5-year-lifetime-lobbying-ban-officials-n713631 http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-sets-5-year-lifeti... http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/trump-sets-year-lifetime-lobbying-ban-officials-45115600 http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/trump-sets-year-lif... http://time.com/4652703/president-trump-lobbying-ban/ http://time.com/4652703/president-trump-lobbying-ban/

    Here's CNN's attempt at spin [1]: "However, Trump's move to ban his aides from cashing in on their current jobs may be easier said than done. Lobbying can be ambiguously titled in practice, and while former staffers may not become registered lobbyists, they could potentially trade influence and government experience for a hefty paycheck all the same." They also buried the story among many negative ones on their home page.
