Two Deceptions Equal Truth?

Media Matters - Media figures advance false claim that Obama is breaking campaign promise of no earmarks: "Summary: Media figures have advanced the false claim that President Obama promised during his campaign to stop earmark spending and is breaking that promise by signing the omnibus spending bill currently being considered in the Senate. In fact, Obama promised to reform the earmark process and cut wasteful spending..."

By reform did Obama mean changing the color of the paper the earmark was typed on? That's not the way I remember it. So, "in fact," is the deception actually the claim of deception?
