Update on "not true."

I mentioned earlier the extreme reluctance of reporters to say, "This is what is being said, but it's not true."

Today the Minneapolis StarTrib carries an AP and LA Times "Health Care Reform Q&A" that breaks the rule. It says, "There's been a big uproar over the health care overhaul bill. Critics ... say the bill would set up a 'death panel' .... They are wrong."

I know it falls in the area of comment--it's not strictly a news story. But still, I'm amazed. And delighted.
