‘Government Slimdown,’ Not ‘Shutdown’ Insists Fox News’

The Last Of The Millenniums

fox slimdown
‘According to Fox News, America is not facing a “government shutdown,” just a “government slimdown.”
‘In various Associated Press reports being used on FoxNews.com, they have replaced the word “shutdown” with “slimdown” in what can only be seen as an attempt to minimize the disaster currently being perpetrated against the American people by a handful of Tea Party Republicans’.
‘he blog at MediaMatters.org reports several instances of the Fox News website altering the AP titles and reports’.
‘For instance, one AP headline- ”Obama Shortens Asia Trip Because Of Shutdown”- was changed to “Obama shortens Asia trip due to government slimdown.”From : http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/10/04/government-slimdown-fox-news/

Hardworking Habitat and AmeriCorps crew members has their cellphones, wallets and “other personal property” stolen from them by two men at around 1:40 p.m. at the Brookfield Court development in the 9500 block of Edes Avenue in East Oakland.

Oakland Tribune has more:

Four men walked onto the property and robbed the seven men and one woman, ages 23 to 68, police said. Roughly a dozen other people were also working on the development, where 12 townhomes are under construction, but they were not robbed, said Habitat spokeswoman Krysta Morgenthaler.

The robbers drove away in two cars and police have not yet released full descriptions of the men or their cars. No arrests have been made.
