MAIN STREAM MEDIA INTENT ON FURTHERING LIBERAL LIES - CHEER-LEADING FOR HIGHER TAXES!

Conservatives,

President Obama held a press briefing earlier today and promptly blamed Republicans for the fact that a budget deal hasn’t been struck, adding there would be no deal on raising the government’s debt limit if Republicans won’t compromise. “I don’t see a path to a deal if they don’t budge. Period.”  

Instead of doing their job of educating and informing the public on the facts, the liberal media were content to present only the President’s leftist narrative about our nation’s debt crisis.

For weeks now, the liberal media have been pushing the same big lie, “Conservatives are putting our entire economy at risk by standing up to big spending Washington liberals.”  On Sunday’s Reliable Sources on CNN, Howard Kurtz moaned about tax increases not being treated as half of the solution.  The liberal media cheerleading for higher taxes that will further batter our economy is starting to border on insanity.

There are so many liberal media whoppers flying around it’s hard to keep track.  Beyond blaming conservatives for the deficits and continuously stating that massive tax hikes are the only answer, the liberal media are pushing another big lie:  The US government will default if conservatives don’t cave in to the President’s demands.  

NewBusters’ Noel Sheppard shatters this insidious piece of liberal propaganda and demonstrates the liberal media’s cozy relationship with this administration, in his report from this weekend.  On Sunday’s Meet the Press, host David Gregory and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner continue to push the big lie about the danger of US default if conservatives don’t abandon their principles. 

+ + The liberal media continue to push for more taxes and more spending but hide the relevant facts!

As one leftist reporter after another continues to push lies and propaganda on the nature of our debt crisis and what must be done, CNSNews.com is bringing you the facts.  

On Friday a CNSNews.com analysis of labor statistics resulted in a story that you will not hear from a liberal media clamoring for more taxes and more spending.  In February of 2009, President Obama signed a $787 Billion dollar stimulus to get people back to work. Since that day, there are 2.4 million fewer jobs in our country.  The liberal media avoid this chilling fact because it is proof positive that the spending spree in Washington is destroying our country.

The constant drumbeat for higher taxes, the lies about default, and the silence on the destruction that this spending spree is leaving in its path are the reasons that the MRC launched our petition on our nation’s debt crisis.
