Now the wingers will be complaining about media manipulation.

The story was rewritten all over the internet which means, unless they can scrub the entire internet, it's fact to the teabaggers since they read it on teh internetz.

Reuters – a traditional news medium that cares about accuracy! Will wonders never cease?

In order to offer a "fair and balanced" perspective, FockSnooze will now report rumors of Satanism and animal cruelty in the White House.

Considering the executives making the decisions to run stories or not, as well as the editors, will acutally be the ones hit by the $250,000+ taxes, I'm expecting a lot more falsehoods to be published before being, ahem, corrected.

Would have been nice if the WH acted this fast at squashing the 'Cadillac plan' tax in the Senate HCR bill - or at least fixing it so it wouldn't become a backdoor tax increase on the middle class. If they had done so, may the House would passed the Senate bill by now.

New benchmark to define middle class families at $250K.

Nope, not true. The story is still up on Reuters web site. I saw this claim earlier today on another site, and it included a link to the story still being up. Obama's tax increases include the elimination of a tax break that was given to people earning below 95 thousand dollars, and will increase taxes by 400 dollars per year. I know your lot can't handle the truth, but that doesn't mean that the truth goes away. Obot tried to bury the facts, but it was exposed.

Yep nothing to see here, White House now dictating what stories can be run by the media. Do you really think the American people will be fooled by this? This type of crap will get 10 times more attention than a stupid article on Reuters.

This administration is a shambles. It's really kind of funny and truly pathetic. From the Parthenon to the outhouse in just over 12 months. Good job!

This administration has been teabagged by the very people it considered rubes. I mean, you couldn't write this stuff.

I would like to thank Christina Bellantoni for responding so promptly to my request for the page number of the budget that supports the claim that taxes for the middle class will drop, not rise. It's Page 160, table S-8.this is the link to that page:http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy11/pdf/summary.pdf. I have to say i find nothing on there to refute the claim that taxes will drop and/or the existing tax rates will not sunset.I do see extension of credits, but nothing mentioning the tax rates for individuals

To the extent that the article was factually wrong, Reuters was correct to withdraw it. To the extent that Reuters buckled under due to the administrations differing with the conclusions in the article, this is a very bad thing indeed. And the administration needs to be condemned even more strongly than Reuters.

The above discussions on "death panels" is a case in point. The proposed health care plans did, in fact, allow for the government to withhold health care if they considered it inefficient. Those favoring the plans have the right to question the rhetorical nature of the comment. However, to call the use of the term "death panels" a lie is intellectually dishonest and dishonorable. It does more to damage the critics credibility than that of the term's user.

I, for one, would rather have a company that wants the public's business than on 536 self-seeking, remote and calculating politicians(counting this and any future Presidents). We can debate my conclusion, or the appropriateness of the term "death panel" but not their existence in the proposed legislation. Its weak, self-indulgent thinking like I see above that has moved me from being a very liberal Democrat to the promised land - political and intellectual independence.

Thats called corporate controlled media. Another term is propaganda. There is no more free press, they have been bought and paid for long ago. Were it not for the bloggers, I don't know where we would be.
Now that we found our voices, the supreme court has silenced them for good with their Jan ruling giving corporations unfettered, unlimited powers to interfer in our election process and fund their candidates to serve. They can afford both sides, so our vote is now a sham.
MSM works against our interests, not for them. That is why the story was presented the way it was.
