Torvald - if pointing out the fallacy purported by a "news" agency makes you ignore a credibly sourced, logical and coherent argument, that says more about you than it does about me, don't you think?

For the record, I personally don't take ANY single "news" organization as gospel - but choose to do the research independantly to find the truth. I have found times where Foxnews has been in error. Just as ABC, CNN and CBS are as well. My comment at the end simply is my way of expressing what is known by many who are like me - that CBS of all the so called "news" organizations is the one most likely to ignore facts while trying to put a political group on display - either for a positive or negative purpose. Note how the article you linked holds up the "Tea Party" supporters as even further "misinformed" - thus holding them up as an object of scorn and nutjobbery (yes, I know thats not likely a real word) even though facts show them to be more in tune with the facts than CBS. Every "news" organization plays the same game, some just do it more blatently than others, but the citizenry should be willing and engaged enough to do the research to find the facts and make their own judgements regardless of who they get the initial info from.

Now if you want to discuss the OP and my response - by all means review my position and respond. I will consider the merits of your views and we can debate it. But the comment you made is one that is reminiscent of a "tribesman" tactic - instead of addressing the merits of the arguement, instead divert the discussion into something else.

So - your response to the points I have made showing that the article is positing a flawed position encouraged by the Obama team? Or will you concede that despite the spin of the administration and CBS, that no real tax CUTS have been made, and thus the "perceptions" of the majority of people are not nearly as far off from the reality as the political spinners would like?
