A recent article out of Washington on www.abcnews.com, Yahoo! Finance, HuffPost, among others by Jack Gillum of the Associated Press is really pushing the limits on journalistic leeway in the context of eye-catching title fabrication.
What actually happened was a continued 3-3 deadlock which does not in any way opine that Bitcoins can’t be used for contributions. In fact, a redditor close to the action has let us know that the FEC’s resounding consensus is that it will be an eventual “yes“. It seems to me that Mr. Gillum pre-wrote an article and when the FEC did not vote down the draft decision he went and added “at least for now” to his first sentence then decided to publish.
