Why did Politico delete passage from story on Fox?

  Some interesting points over at Politico in the article about Ed Henry questioning Obama spokesman Carney, who accused Henry of making a scene because he's working for Fox but is sort of defended by the Politico reporter:
Henry, who hardly pulled punches when he sat a few seats over for CNN, chided Carney, "That's not what I'm doing. You know better than that."
   Interesting, also, is the fact that Politico originally had written into the story something like, "Fox News producers and reporters, who are some of the most respected in the business, will be taking over the White House Correspondents next year..." blah blah blah
  The original story was posted around 4:15, but then altered at 7:33 to say this, leaving out the previously mentioned passage:
Next year, Henry takes over as president of the White House Correspondents Association -- meaning ever closer dealings with the administration.
  Why would they do this? Hmmm? Was the writer intimidated by someone, not to admit that Fox News IS respected in the media, something most of us would never know?
  Interesting.
