This is partly why I posted this...
The Title is misleading and I wonder if the MSM is already setting us up....
They're doing it to anger conservatives.
They love to do this and conservatives fall for the lie almost every time.
the media has not been in the least bit honest in anything they’re either reported or failed to report in a long, long time. Why should they start now. The article clearly had written in it that they want to reform taxes, not increase them, they wanted to focus on increasing tax revenue though growth, not increasing levels. The headline is misleading and downright false as to the content.
But we get the typical over reaction.. face it, it’s going to happen whether we want it to or not. Either the tax rates expire or they get Obama to agree to a few measures to simplify the code. We might as well just allow the rates to revert back, massively cut defense spending to the point we’re defenseless, and watch the unemployment roles increase (which will probably reduce the rate the way the measure it) and the tax revenue shrink even further and increase Obama’s free stuff stash on China’s dime out of my grandchildrens piggybanks..
Either way, how will the media portray it? Obama’s insistence on increasing rates for those that voted against him or Republicans insistence on treating everyone fairly?

Well then please make your title reflect the "catch" of the lie.
Something like: "MSM caught in lie: Twists Boehner's vow to not raise tax rates." And comment on it specifically.
(I'm sure someone else can come up with a better title than my suggestion!)
As a general comment on the story: I'm not placing any bets that Boehner will hold his ground, but at least he's out the gate in the right direction, and should be encouraged, not damned. A certain Ben Franklin quote comes to mind...
