Yahoo! Front Page Headline: Obama's budget taxes wealthy, cuts Medicare and boosts deficit
The actual article headline is:

"Obama plan foresees record $1.75 trillion deficit"

But at least it goes on to explain. The media's assault has begun.

7. Attack Frenchie...FC
wasn't you or it could have been babylonsister who had a thread that the moves Obama was making was going to face some serious criticisms in the future by the GOP and corporate media. It was definitely a post in the last 2 weeks.

3. Thanks for posting - I just noticed that. Why do so many in America hate.. America?
One thing you can say, the right wing noise machine is really stoked, and really well coordinated.

too bad that they are a bunch of losers that will just be completely marginalized this time around.

5. I love Obama's commitment to healthcare here. and the wealthy SHOULD have their taxes increased.
Even the article explains that the cuts to medicare are because, basically, medicare is being overcharged by insurance and drug companies.

9. Rupert Murdoch Is On The AP's Board
No one advertises this fact, but this is why its laughable when the mainstream media does one of its "liberal bias" stories. The liberal bias meme is just a cover-up for the true corporate bias.

11. My yahoo page says "Obama's pricey budget includes tax hikes for the rich"
blech.

Yesterday it said something about GOP rising star Bobby Jindal being in the spotlight.

Day before that it was about McCain blasting Obama's helicopter fleet.

Yahoo headlines make me want to scream in anger.

12. The LA Times is worse
In an article, NOT an editorial, they said his plans of raising taxes on the wealthy, cutting defense spending, and trimming fat have FAILED to balance the budget in the past. Are they shitting us? They have deliberately misrepesented the Clinton record to fuel their bullshit agenda once again.

13. The people who own the news outlets are very, very rich
It does not surprise me that they greet the news of higher taxes for the wealthy with contempt.

That's why I do not trust the media in general. An upper-class elite cannot understand the concern of the middle and low class.
