MY DELICIOUS, UNACCOUNTABLE WORDS
Back in October, Washington Post political columnist Dana Milbank made a promise to his readers - Donald Trump would not win the Republican Party's presidential nomination, or Milbank would literally "eat his words" by consuming the newsprint on which they were published.
"Finally," readers may have thought, "journalistic accountability!" Well, as you surely know, Trump effectively sewed up the nomination last week and Milbank - a man of his word - held to that promise. Live-streaming on Facebook, the columnist ate a nine-course gourmet meal, prepared by one of Washington DC's top chefs, that incorporated newsprint into each presumably delicious course.
