Chaffetz is commenting on a recent, ugly phenomenon: The New York Times or the Washington Post will report on what testimony or some publication-in-process Will Be, according to their wildest dreams.
This happened with the IC witnesses in committee hearings and in the Mueller Report.
It also happened in the Schiff hearings.
Then, when the testimony turns out to be different from the pre-report, they either fail to publish (spike the story) or repeat the same lies in the headlines, with some further additions way down toward the end of a long story.
