Couric/CBS News Lied

Tonight's broadcast of Katie Couric's CBS Evening News was replete with more lies on behalf of the Obama campaign.

First, Couric and CBS lied about the 'fact check' process on McCain and Obama during last night's debate. Supposedly, Obama's tax plan will enable small businesses to get a tax cut, thus helping 'Plumber Joe.' This is according to some watchdog group.

The assertion is FALSE. Under Obama, who wishes to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire, everyone will experience the largest tax increase in U.S. history. Interesting that NOBODY takes into account the INCREASES in taxes that will come when Obama-Democrats allow the Bush tax cuts to expire. This skews the figures of the 'facts check' organizations and assumptions about the Obama tax plan.

As I have repeatedly stated, you cannot claim to lower taxes for 95% of Americans if you will let the Bush tax cuts expire. THAT will RAISE taxes automatically on everyone.

Plumber Joe, therefore, will get hit hard even if Obama does nothing but allow the present system of tax cuts to expire in 2010. This is the dirty little secret Democrats don't want you to know, and CBS/Couric are helping them lie about it.

Second, Couric pointed to some poll showing that Obama supposedly beat McCain in last night's debate by an outrageous percentage, 52-29%.

That poll is SKEWED. The samples CBS and the New York Times use are heavily loaded up with Democrat participants, making their polls patently FALSE.

Third, CBS came to Obama's aid in trashing Plumber Joe by bringing up a tax bill he owes the state of Ohio--a mere $1200 or so. But the report was worded in such a way that Joe's reputation was impugned. This is unconscionable. And this is the way Obama and his mainstream media morons do business.

Fourth, CBS/Couric showed a video of Joe supposedly admitting today that under the Obama plan he would get a tax cut. If he did actually say that, it was because of the CBS-Couric blather that hides the expiration of the Bush tax cut in 2010, which will dramatically increase taxes on every single human being who pays taxes in this country.

CBS-Couric-mainstream reporters are pathetic.

Why are none of the reporters asking Obie how he can lower taxes on 95% of Americans when almost half pay no income tax at all??

Surely they realize this. Don't they?

This is because the mainstream media members of Chairman Ba-O's Politboro know that he will give the 40% who pay no taxes at all a welfare check in the form of a 'tax rebate,' except it won't be a rebate since they pay not taxes.

It will be a welfare check. But nobody wants us to know that.
