NY Mag Editor Admits On National TV He Never Reported John Kerry's Income Tax Rate in 2004

Newsbusters.org:

The ridiculous media hypocrisy concerning all the fuss over Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's wealth and income tax rate was perfectly demonstrated on MSNBC's Morning Joe Monday.


After claiming that Romney's "tax issue is not remotely" past him, John Heilemann, the National Affairs editor for New York magazine, admitted that he never reported John Kerry's income tax rate during the 2004 campaign


And there it is. What else do you need to know about the state of today's media?


Kerry's low income tax rate was not an issue for them in 2004.


But despite the immutable fact that Romney pays more in federal income taxes as a percentage of Adjusted Gross Income than 97 percent of the nation including Kerry, people like Heilemann - who totally ignored Kerry's lower tax rate in 2004 - are going to pound on this issue as long as Romney is in the race.


As NewsBusters has been reporting for months, the media are going to do anything to get Barack Obama reelected.
