February 2nd, 2010 · 1 Comment
Sometimes, the truth hurts. In the case of an article they published yesterday at 4:04 p.m. Eastern, it appears Reuters editors were afraid writer Terri Cullen’s adventure into truthful journalism might hurt their news agency’s relationship with President Barack Obama — so they pulled it. Published under the headline, Backdoor taxes hit middle class, the [...]
