Washington Post's Karen Tumulty chops up Obama's "You didn't build that" quote
It's not only the Republicans doing it. This twit Tumulty reported it this way on August 28th:
"“If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that,” the president said at a rally in Virginia on July 13. “Somebody else made that happen.”
But she incorrectly quoted Obama. He actually said (without chopping things up):
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business -- you didn’t build that."

This is supposedly an independent mainstream media. Her sidekick David A. Fahrenthold helped write the lie.
