The lead story at DrudgeReport.com as of 11:30 a.m. this morning was "**REUTERS: Backdoor taxes to hit middle class." But Reuters withdrew the article last night. Drudge noted the change and wrote: "**REUTERS pulls tax story..." then added another link to the top left margin: "Largest-ever federal payroll to hit 2.15 million employees..."
So what happened?
According to a Reuters rep, it was withdrawn "due to significant errors of fact."
"The story was wrong on multiple points and should not have gone out," she emailed us. A formal withdrawal will issued will address specific points that were incorrect later today.
UPDATE: A White House offical told Talking Points Memo that administration aides appealed to Reuters to take it down.

Like that's ever stopped Al-Reuters before.

Before, it was 'significant errors of fact' that favored Big Brotha. Now that the errors put egg squarely on the Messiah's face - right after he told the half-dozen Americans who stayed sober while watching his SOTU speech that he'd actually CUT their taxes. Can't have that going un-checked by the Ministry of Troof & Shit, can we?
