A soon-to-be released media study documents how ABC, NBC and CBS repeatedly have portrayed President Obama as a leader who is cutting taxes while ignoring the potential $4.2 trillion in taxes – that about $14,000 apiece or $56,000 for a family of four – that could start hitting Americans as early as January 1.

The report is to be published at the Business & Media Institute's website as early as today.

There are many hard core moochers in this country that would disagree with you. They are contiunuing to suck off the public teat, as well as thinking their “share” will increase. Don’t fool yourself.
The hike in taxes will be known after the Nov. election and with enough time for people to get used to the loss of income before the 2012 election.
Figure it out. Those Networks get direct orders from Obama. They are fellow travelers.
Propaganda from the state media. How surprising...
The MSM and admin are burying the really negative economic news until after Nov. 2.
