Burying the Lede is the Mainstream Press' New Favorite Thing: Elizabeth Warren Edition

This week in "Gee, I wonder why trust in the mainstream press is so low?" I present to you, The Daily Beast (which was basically chosen at random among many potential choices):

BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren releases her DNA test: Yes, she is Native American https://t.co/ZCyARvowfp pic.twitter.com/it50t1i3kB

Nice title there. Here's what it says a few paragraphs down:

It concluded that the “vast majority” of Warren’s ancestry is European but that “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor in the individual’s pedigree, likely in the range of six-10 generations ago.”

That's about 1/1024th Native American... wow! Quite the lede you've thoroughly buried there Daily Beast!

Yet, somehow Elizabeth Warren actually believes this benefits her!

By the way, @realDonaldTrump: Remember saying on 7/5 that you’d give $1M to a charity of my choice if my DNA showed Native American ancestry? I remember – and here's the verdict.

Oh, but silly you Washington Times! Obviously you don't understand the true ramifications of this incredible self-own self-own. We need Bloomberg for that (along with my very deep and intellectual commentary):
