ABCNews.com and Time.com headlines mischaracterized Paulson's remarks as blaming Democrats
http://mediamatters.org/items/200809260007?f=h_top

Summary: Headlines on ABCNews.com and on The Page website falsely characterized a reported conversation between Henry Paulson and House Democrats as Paulson blaming the Democrats for failed negotiations on economic recovery legislation, "pleading" with them not to "blow up" the deal. But the article to which both headlines linked characterized the exchange differently, with Paulson acknowledging that House Republicans bore responsibility for the failure of negotiations.
