Media Ignore CBO Report Bashing Senate 'Porkabus' Plan
Topics: Political News and commentariesOne would think that if the agency responsible for reporting economic data to Congress as well as commenting on budget proposals concluded the Senate's stimulus plan not only won't have much positive impact, but will actually hinder output in years to come, that the American people be informed about it. But this isn't the case and instead, on Wednesday, the Congressional Budget Office issued a pessimistic view of the stimulus bill in front of the Senate, and virtually no major media outlets reported it.
Let there be no doubt that the majority of the major news outlets - most of whom are Obama supporters, excepting outlets noted at the above link like Fox News, the Washington Times, and Investor's Business Daily which all reported CBO's analysis, Americans will continue to remain largely in the dark about information conflicting with the Obama spin.
