They want to make an accusation that its constituency will read above the fold and take for fact.

An example today:

For the past week we have been told by "news" reporters that 70,000 construction workers have been laid off because of the hold on FAA funding.

Oops! Now that the impasse has been resolved, the corrected number has been reported: 24,000 jobs.

What I also want to know is how could 'reporters' go with such a ridiculous number in the first place, without saying to themselves: "70,000 jobs doing airport construction doesn't really sound possible, I better check it out."

And why don't the Repubs get out there and say just what Byron York states.....we NEVER take them on we just let them lie. The uniformed then believe it.
