Fallon should can, not ground Questlove permanently.
I am a woman and I feel thoroughly offended.

Thank you for this. Why don’t I see this on the news and in my local paper, or even my weekly news magazines?

Comment on FACT CHECK: 7 Major Obama Half-Truths, Deceptions and Lies From His Health Care Address To Congress by dbliss

Here is the original article as it appeared on Yahoo!.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090910/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_health_care_fact_check

Why did P.U.M.A. feel that it had to change what was said, and manipulate the article in order to push its own agenda? Isn’t the point of a fact checking article supposed to be to provide non-biased information, so that the reader can make educated judgements? So isn’t the integrity of the article compromised when a second party alters the information to push a specific agenda, and make the article more acceptable to a certain target demographic?

Look, I’m on your side as far as the healthcare issue goes. I think Obama and his healtcare plan are ridiculous, that’s why I’m registered with this site to begin with. There is enough incriminating information in the original article by the AP that it didn’t need to be edited. But when you copy/pasted this article, and tried to seamlessly add your own commentary within the text, and then claim the article as your own (“Source: AP and P.U.M.A.” ..please.), then you crossed into the tyrannical behavior that we’re all here to stand up against!

There is no excuse for this.

Some John Mayer lyrics come to mind: “When you trust the television, what you get is what you got. ‘Cause when they own the information, they can bend it all they want.”
