Could you start giving her the "credit" for the Washington Post pieces that she produces. She is the most notable of the Post reporters for always putting the editorial into the reporting. She is up in Megan McCardle's reliability range. If you choose to read it, understand that it is for entertainment, not for a better understanding of the facts. The Post's editors bear a share of the shame since they continually front-page her stuff, but really, Lori Montgomery deserves special recognition by Beat the Press. Perhaps some name to go with her place of employment, "Fox on Fifteenth"? - mike Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:26:14 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/the-post-cleans-up-for-republican-tax-cutters#comment-1743 The debate over allowing Bush's tax cuts to expire on incomes over $200,000 ($250,000 for couples) is going to be full of disingenuous, if not outright dishonest, claims and predictions. I hope Dean's red pencils are sharpened as the coverage in the media will certainly offer him ample opportunities to make corrections. I'm in a pool to pick the first day the Republicans "negotiate" the Democrats to a limit of $1 million or more. - Queen of Sheba Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:16:39 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/the-post-cleans-up-for-republican-tax-cutters#comment-1738 [quote]It is certainly more plausible that these politicians are worried about campaign contributions from high income households ... [/quote] Talk about a death spiral ... less stimulus, more unemployment, fewer high income households, more dependence by pols on the remaining ones, even less stimulus, even less high income households ... - izzatzo Mon, 26 Jul 2010 09:42:27 +0100 http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/beat-the-press/the-post-cleans-up-for-republican-tax-cutters#comment-1728 Don't higher tax rates actually ENCOURAGE job growth by making it more attractive to leave profits within the vehicles that generated them? - Benedict@Large Sun, 25 Jul 2010 13:26:00 +0100
