Actual FoxNews.com headline: "Dems Vote to Raise Taxes on Small Business, Job Creators"
Edited on Thu Dec-02-10 06:30 PM by brentspeak
This is not even listed as an "opinion" piece; Fox News lists this as an actual news article on its online site. The Fox headline links to a thehill.com article that has the true headline ("House passes middle-class tax bill with three Republicans supporting.") Incredibly, Fox News can legally get away with this.

Dems Vote to Raise Taxes on Small Business, Job Creators

The House passed by a vote of 234-188 a measure that permanently extends expiring middle-class tax cuts and provides a patch for the alternative minimum tax.

The measure passed with the support of three Republicans with 20 Democrats opposing the measure.

The legislation isn't expected to have legs in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters a short time ago that his caucus is still discussing what to do about the tax cuts, emphasizing that extending tax cuts for those making less than $250,000 a year is a priority.

Senate Republicans have united against any bill that doesn't extend all the expiring 2001 and 2003 tax provisions made law during President George W. Bush's administration.

House Republicans criticized the move by Democratic leaders to hold the vote on the bill that doesn't include an extension of tax cuts for all taxpayers, including those making $250,000 a year.
