DID THE WHITE HOUSE PRESSURE WASHINGTON POST TO CHANGE FACT CHECKER?

On March 27, Josh Hicks of the Washington Post's Fact Checker gave White House regulation czar Cass Sunstein one "Pinocchio" for his defense of the Obama administration's regulatory record. However, the same article, a day earlier, was far more critical of the administration, giving Sunstein a total of three Pinocchios. - Breitbart's Big Journalism

At the link: (as text, and in Word document at the end of the article) is a comparison of the first (3 Pinocchio) and the second (1 Pinocchio) versions of the Fact Checker article, with extensive changes indicated

From comments: GGSS: So, negative you-tube comments on the Obama "movie" are deleted. Articles about Malia's trip to Mexico vanish. (PS that was a news story no matter you spin it, if for nothing more than it being another lavish trip while the country suffers.) The Washington Post, THE WASHINGTON POST, pulls and article, and revises it to be more favorable to the President. I guess this is the downside of Digital Media, used to be once something was printed, there it was for all to see. Thank you for pointing this out, Dan. Who knows how much censhorship goes on that we don't even know about. Terrifying.
