Senator Jon Kyl’s office has been slammed since Reuters Tweeted this less than an hour ago:
Myself and other conservatives reTweeted this and voiced disdain for the reported compromise. We were in disbelief that the GOP would cave with zero concessions on something so integral to private sector sustainability.
We were wrong — Reuters made it up.
Kyl’s actual remarks, just posted at Breitbart.tv:
Earlier this afternoon Reuters reported: “Republicans have agreed to $150 billion to $200 billion in increased tax revenues as part of budget talks, says Senator Kyl.”
A look at the Senator’s actual words in the well of the Senate reveals that he was specifically NOT talking about tax increases, but the sale of government property and other use fees.
Reuters needs to correct their timeline and issue a retraction.
Apologies to Senator Kyl.

I see Roto Reuters is at it again. Joining with 0bamas state run media to lie and deceive the American people.
This is not Journalism.
This is manipulation (Politics)
Reuters should be ashamed.
I am not holding my breath.
Sounds like a job for retracto.
Expect more and more of this over the next eighteen months, maybe two or three years, trying to sow mistrust among us, until Reuters and their brethren finally declare bankruptcy sometime after the accounting rules get tightened up during the next administration (and in view of their loss of promised bailouts.) Stay the course, don't believe anything you see in the MSM and guard the integrity of your blogs and web sites. The locusts are swarming before their 17-year hibernation.
And people still wonder why we all know someone who believes Republicans are the problem. It is because of Pravda, Obama's lying MSM as directed by George Soros.
OMG a liberal media outlet made something up out of whole cloth!!! I'm surprised and shocked!!!
Well, not really … It happens everyday! Journalism really is little more than creative lying, these days…
Reuters is in the same category as the AP.
Most folks do not know the history behind the AP.
It would be well worth your due diligence.
these are not the droids your looking for
Time to take Retracto out of the alpaca stables and get him to work *hims Retracto theme song*
So when I first heard this I thought: That sounds a little fishy to me.
So I reserved judgement until I got more reliable information.
So that's how it works now-thanks to the new media.
Thanks, BIG JOURNALISM.
I believe the Rothchilds own them both.
Reuters is so awful they can only do us a favor at this point. Wether it was deliberate or not, this is a gift. The GOP got an unexpected sneak-peak reaction of just how genuinely low their valor is regarded by their own base. If it caused such instant outrage it's because we don't have the luxury anymore to assume that this leadership will do the right and courageous thing. If it shook them up, all the better.
He/She/It's on it.
If Reuters isn't careful(which they weren't) they could cause a bad stock market dip, if they didn't.
If there was a dip today, the conspiracy theorist in me tells me the SEC should investigate to see if the reporter who tweeted(twitted?) this bought any stock afterward.
State sponsored media.
Truth be known, they were all in cahoots. Float a balloon…… floated out to see what the people will accept!!! Will the people pop it or accept it?…Back to the conniving board, constructing a new strategy to float a more acceptable balloon loaded with secret bombs, the people will accept !!! Over and over again…until the people finally accept, falling into the trap, as usual (In their monopoly over the media/controlled good ol' days)!!!! Oh how they pray the "TEA" (Taxed Enough Already) Party will go away, so they can finally prey again upon the unsuspecting masses, hypnotized/victomized by their presentations of reality/biased opinion !!!!!
Reuters assumed if there was new money, it had to come from a GOP tax hike agreeement, whixh their Twitter feed reacted to as if it was V-J day. But in the immortal words of Fekix Ungar, "When you assume…"
Hey Dana,
I don't really dig the posing.

Lying bastards.
Gee, I wonder if "News of the World" is a subscriber to Reuters or a main contributor – or both?
There really needs to be some kind of punishment when the press or media willfully fabricates a policy or position statement from a sitting member of Congress or government agency; I suggest 3-5 years in federal prison as a mandatory sentence – with no possibility of parole, and prisoners sent to prisons like Leavenworth – NOT "social-club" prisons like the ones they send Hollywood babies to.
THAT will send a message like nothing else will – screw with a politician's public communications, and feel the wrath – PERIOD.
I hate the AP. Even AFP is more even handed. AP's so called news stories read like they were written by Alinsky' commiecrats. What's the history behind this?
Lawrence Gobright was one of the co-founders of the Associated Press.
During the Civil War, Gobright had worked exclusively with the Lincoln Administration, in controlling and manipulating the flow of war news to the American people.
It was at Lincolns discretion that news was released.
The press has had a long, sordid history, of capitulation.
A free press, was one of the few things that kept politicians honest.
Dana, I love you and what you do, but this is a regular occurrence of the lame stream media. They make things up, and then a few days later apologize for an "error", and everyone moves on. Every single week for the past year, they've made something up, and then ended up apologizing for it. i.e. the federal government now says that putting Israel on the Terrorist's Watchlist was an "internal error". It's what they do!!!
And Reuters had the audacity to ban me from commenting on their web site. What a bunch of anus holes.
'The fat Russian agent was cornering all the foreign refugees in turn and explaining plausibly that this whole affair was an Anarchist plot. I watched him with some interest, for it was the first time that I had seen **a person whose profession was telling lies – unless one counts journalists.**' –Orwell, "Homage to Catalonia" (1938)
'Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.' –Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Norvell (June 11, 1807)
Jag hoppas det verkligen häftigt plats att skriva och
publicera den. Vi är pedagoger
