Two reporters lament (and attack) democrats' inability to explain their tax programs correctly
Halperin & Heilemann
It's the job of the MEDIA to report accurately and to do some investigation about the details.
These two are blathering on about what an utter failure the democratic party has been for a LONG TIME when it came to getting the message out about their tax plans..
WTF!
The MESSAGE is given out with regularity, and for decades the MEDIA has chosen to spin it and equivocate it and in the end, they have always portrayed the Republicans as tax-break givers, and the Democrats as tax raisers.
Democrats do not OWN media.. Republicans do.
Democrats are Blanche Dubois.. always depending on the kindness of strangers
republicans are Freddie Kruger..slashing away nonstop and reviving no matter how many times they are "killed"
