Reuters laments Marco Rubio 'fiasco'

#7  It's one thing to mistake a guy being in the life insurance business when he was in the property and casualty business.
But if you report he was in the construction business all his life...you have nothing to which you can report as having misinterpreted. Either you made it up or somebody gave you really, really wrong information.
And--analogy alert--if you report with outrage that the guy was in the construction business for forty years without qualifying for even one license (which, of course, he would not, being in the insurance business), you really ought to check it out.
IMO, this is a faked-up, made-up hit piece with the presumption that either they won't get busted, or if they do, much of the target market will not find out.
You can't say a guy has trouble with his student loan if there is no, none, nadd, nothing, information to that end. It has to be made up.

#6  Many of the main stream urinalists should be sued both for masquerading as journalists and malpractice. Unless of course their practice is propaganda, in which case, they do it fairly well except when the lies become too obvious.

#5  Nobody likes an inept propagandist.

I guess that all we can do is thank Reuters for being so transparent.
