Perhaps it is YOU who needs to work on your reading skills... like, try reading the post and some of the replies. ABC has CHANGED the website to remove the offensive sentence. It USED to say:
"Democrats have opposed the filibuster before — in the 1960s, they accused Republicans of using it to block civil rights legislation."
Now, a very close reading would allow: ABC didn't accuse the Republicans. ABC simply reported that the Democrats accused the Republicans of such. But, the accusation is untrue. And, by not correcting the record, I submit that ABC is, de facto, making the same accusation.
Someone else must have agreed, since ABC has now removed that sentence. I guess posting here can have a positive impact.
THANKS FREEPERS!!!
They changed it because it was a poorly written and thought through article - kind of like your post.
