That’s the headline of this ABC news story. They write it apparently with no sense of irony, despite the fact that, early on, it contains this quote from the former New York governor:

“Class warfare? He declared the war,” Cuomo said at the National Press Club. “He said, ‘We’re going to give all the money to the rich.'”

Cuomo, who is pushing the Democratic Party to sharpen its difference with the Republicans on issues such as tax cuts, declared: “We’re not the ones who started the war. We’re just defending ourselves against his attack.”

He said, “We’re going to give all the money to the rich.” Yup, I’ll be that’s just what he said.

The evil Republicans are pulling a reverse Robin Hood. They’re going to round up all the peasants, turn them over and shake all the pennies out of their pockets, and hand the ill-gotten swag over to the rich. All of it.

It couldn’t possibly be that the President is simply letting the “rich,” who pay most of the income taxes, keep a little more of their own money.

And of course, rather than attempting to put Cuomo’s immoderate demogoguery in any kind of rational context, they instead attempt to buttress it, with this:

That cut gives 52 percent of its benefits to the richest 1 percent of Americans by 2010 those with an average income of $1.5 million according to the labor-funded advocacy group Citizens for Tax Justice.

Citizens for Tax Justice. It’s a non-profit, and it has such a nice name. Who could object to “justice”? They couldn’t possibly have an axe to grind.

Glad there’s no liberal media bias–just think what the story might have said if there were…
