Talk about a Freudian slip! You know that headline writer believes inside that all evil in the world MUST come from Republicans.

That's a sound strategy.....change party before you resign....

Um, Reuters doesn't write the headlines on its stories. This is entirely IBN's error, whatever IBN is. Jonah surely knows this.

IBN would appear by an Indian news outlet. How vast is the liberal MSM conspiracy!

Fear not -- in the age of the internet, I am sure that the headline will soon be corrected with all the information that MSM consumers need to know.

"Amid scandal, US Congressman Weiner to step down"

The original lead used "Amid scandal, U.S. Rep. Weiner set to resign". The clowns at ibn forgot that US Rep stands for representative, not republican.

The headline is from an online newspaper in India and NOT from a USA website. The Reuter TEXT is completely accurate and refers to Wiener as a Representative. Mr. Jonah, please withdraw your story and apologize. Your story is more false than the mistaken headline from India.

I don't think Jonah is being disingenuous, so much as jumping the gun. But yeah, the headline is not Reuters' fault.
