Sanders delivers left hook after Brooklyn brawl [Reuters] The Sanders campaign released a television ad on Friday that skewered Clinton, without naming her, as accepting more than $200,000 from Wall Street for a speech while not embracing raising the minimum wage from the current $7.25 to $15. It depends on what the definition of `embrace’ is.

If you click on that URL at 6:00 PM, you get a different article:

If you Google the headline, you find the article under the Africa and UK site editions (actually it showed as being on the UK site edition when I first Googled but didn’t a while later when I decided to post about it).

And look at the URL, it is “http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-democrats-idUSKCN0XC05” as in originally tagged about being about Democrats. Pray tell why a Trump story is there now. And Google also shows the Trump article under the search for the article by title, which also confirms the swap. And the feed-through to Yahoo also seems consistent.

But it’s gone from the Africa edition too:

But you can still find some footprints of the original story:

The Clintons are well known for hectoring the press about unfavorable coverage. Still, it’s stunning to see Reuters cave in to what appears to be pressure from Hillary’s campaign, particularly since Clinton is never named.

Here is the ad. Please circulate widely:

Update 2:00 AM. Lambert had the presence of mind to search on text from the article. He found only two matches: one from the Daily Times of Pakistan, which was by “Agencies” and we did not verify whether it contained text from other wire services. (Enterprising reader rufus magister also located a copy at CompuServe Entertainment). However, the other one was from First Post of India with the headline: White House hopeful Sanders delivers left hook after Brooklyn brawl | Reuters. And as you can see below, the article closes with: “This story has not been edited by Firstpost staff and is generated by auto-feed.”

Bear in mind that Reuters routinely updates articles, and labels them as updates. So it would seem to be very unusual for the to yank a story rather than correct it. Full text below:
