Note the Reuters bias woven subtly into the wording to fool the Low-Information Voter (LIV):

Last week, Woodward published an opinion piece [...] saying the administration was "wrong" to blame the cuts on Republicans.

Putting "wrong" in quotation marks intends to leave an impression that there is something wrong with that word choice on the part of Woodward.

That drew retorts from White House press secretary Jay Carney, who [...] blamed the budget stalemate on Republican opposition to including increased revenues in any deal to replace the cuts.

"Revenues" instead of "taxes". Revenues are good! What's wrong with more income - if you are a business, that's good! So how can those evil Republicans be opposed to "revenues"?

The $85 billion across-the-board budget cuts were mandated by Congress and the White House [...].

... by (a) Congress and (b) the White House - sure doesn't give you the impression that the White House came up with the idea and pushed it onto the Congress.

The LIV gets the message that the Republicans in Congress drove this idea, are poor businessmen by refusing higher income for the government, and now with the help of Bob Woodward are blaming Saint Obama. All under the guise of a neutral, "just the facts Ma'am" news service with no axe to grind.

we all know that “across-th-board budget cuts” are the biggest lie of the day. Handout will not be touched in any budget cuts that are in the future. The Rats would be slapping the hand that gets them elected - over and over and over again.
