Don't Believe The Hype
Powerline douses cold water on claims that the Bush administration sought to keep a report on the deficit that might have hampered the passage of the recent tax cuts under wraps. The story was initially reported by the Financial Times and has been picked up by CNN and the BBC. The incredible thing is that if any of these major media organizations had done just a little research into the story, as Powerline did, they would have discovered that the report was not "buried" and was concerned more with the methods in which deficits were reported rather than with specific recommendations in regard to the 2004 budget that the administration submitted.
Once again we are left to wonder if this is another example of intentionally biased reporting or just slothful journalism.
Kudos to Mr. Hindrocket for exposing the lack of substance behind this latest "scandal".
