Media Bias Watch: False Headlines edition

Reuters headline:
Now It's Official: Economy Shrunk
Story: "U.S. gross domestic product -- which measures total output within the nation's borders -- expanded at a 2.8 percent annual rate in the second quarter to $10.8 trillion, down from the 3.0 percent pace estimated last month by the Commerce Department."
Translation: the economy is still growing, just not as fast as last month, therefore we will say that it shrunk, because in Reuters-land, growing=shrunk.
Proposed new motto: Reuters, making the case for stricter drug laws with each new day.
