Reuters Writing For 12 Year Olds

Today, Reuters journalist, Richard Cowan, wrote an article on the budget fight between Congress and the President. Well, apparently, Mr. Cowan thinks his readers are children or have just woken from a seven year coma because he felt it was necessary to point this out in his article:

On October 15, Bush, a Republican, said in a speech to business people in Arkansas, "You're fixing to see what they call a fiscal showdown in Washington."

Maybe he added that part for the international readers. Most of them think he is a fascist. :P *

I know this is small and insignificant, but it really bothers me it was put in. It makes me think less of Reuters.
