I saw that too, I thought of mentioning that here then I forgot. He got away with it,.
On NBC MTP Lowery was outnumbered and one of the libs replies to him claiming CBO numbers showing how much deficit reduction the Senate bill would cause, and when Lowery tried to respond Gregory gave the floor to another of the four libs on the panel with a completely different question.
I believe the cooked deficit reduction comes mainly from payroll/entitlement taxes (on them and employer assuming it doesnt increase employment too) by COMPLETELY ignoring that under current law that they would be entitled to even more $$$$ back later as a result.
In other words it makes believe they will pay those taxes without getting the benefits.
An Obama operative/Holder defender named Julian Epstein used to come on Greta van Susterin, and every time he repeated the factually false claim that Fast and Furious was a GWB program (not that GWB can't do very wrong things but in this case he didn't). The same conservative guy would appear and let him get away with it. Finally, about the 4th time I saw this happen (there may have been others I did not see) the conservative guy tried to make the point, but kind of awkwardly. Probably writes good books but doesn't have the fire for TV (or maybe he and the leftist guy are personal friends, who knows).

How did Reagan do it? On TV, he came out consistently on top. Maybe he would have had enough sense to avoid such an ambush.
