Making stuff up

Kids sometime play a game called telephone (at least, that’s what we called it when I was a kid), in which a story is passed from person to person, and what comes out is very different from what went in. I was reminded of that when Reuters managed to turn Jon Kyl’s (R-AZ) statement that “we’re not talking about increasing taxes” into a concession for a $150 billion tax hike.

You know, if Reuters were to say that water is wet, you might want to wait for confirmation.
