Shut Fox Down

Previous Page

This week, Fox News showed a factually false Republican talking point about the so-called "death tax" and then showed no Democratic response and no correction of the Republican falsehood. Even worse, Fox News actually tried to imply opposition to the inheritance tax within the Obama Administration by using a misinterpretation of the work of an Obama economic advisor that actually contradicts nothing proposed by Obama but does contradict core Republican beliefs exemplified in a February 2009 CPAC speech by apparent de facto head of the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh. You can see the February 2009 CPAC speech by Rush Limbaugh from which I take short clips for my video using links at http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_030209/content/01125106.guest.html The Fox News clips I use in my video come from the program "Happening Now" broadcast April 1, 2009 (not available online). You can find the chart I used in my video that shows the percentage of estates affected by the inheritance tax that have significant small business or farm assets at http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=2663 You can see the 1980 paper by Barack Obama's economic advisor Lawrence Summers titled "The Role of Intergenerational Transfers in Aggregate Capital Accumulation" (as published in 1981) at http://tinyurl.com/SummersPaper And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D
