“Even today’s newspaper (meaning its current news) was printed yesterday”

BP Totty,

Yes, today’s newspaper contains yesterday’s news, but there is one important thing to consider — no one expects it to be otherwise. That’s not sheker in my book. It’s akin to saying that you’re not happy with your copy of “The Complete Works of Fill-in-your-favorite-author-here” because it doesn’t include the unpublished short story he wrote in high school. You understand “Complete Works” to mean published works — not every scrap of everything that he ever wrote.

Or, in shorter terms — consider the context.
