NY Times latest outlet to repeat old and senile McCain campaign misinformation (lies) about impact of Obama's tax plan on small businesses.
In a November 1 New York Times article, reporter Jeff Zeleny quoted McCain spokesman Jeff Sadosky saying: "[Sen.] Barack Obama's plans to raise taxes on small businesses and his attacks on Midwestern family farmers have turned off rural voters at the same time that John McCain's independent record has earned the votes of Republicans, independents and conservative Democrats." But while Zeleny wrote that Obama "dismissed that argument" and "derided what he called a negative campaign being waged by Mr. [John] McCain," Zeleny did not point out that less than 2 percent of taxpayers declaring small business income would see a tax increase in 2009 under Obama's plan, according to estimates by the Tax Policy Center (TPC).--

ABC's Robin Roberts did not challenge old and senile McCain's false claim -- reportedly rebutted by his own economic adviser -- that Obama "wants to raise people's taxes".
She did not challenge McCain's claim, even though McCain's own chief economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, has reportedly said it is inaccurate to say that "Barack Obama raises taxes." In fact, Obama has proposed cutting taxes for low- and middle-income taxpayers, while raising taxes only on individuals earning more than $200,000 per year and families earning more than $250,000 per year.--

Tennent has previously asserted that, "I don't think you can be a Christian and vote for Barack Obama."--

Barack Obama's speech that day in Des Moines, Iowa, Fox News aired on-screen text that misquoted Obama, falsely asserting that he called Sen. John McCain "a maverick."
