NPR, CBS Play Up Romney’s ‘Provocative’ Warren Buffett Tax Rate

Posted by Raw Editor on January 21, 2012 in politics | ∞

NPR harped on Mitt Romney’s “provocative tax detail” on Wednesday’s Morning Edition, highlighting that the GOP presidential candidate “disclosed he’s in the same low tax bracket as the billionaire [Warren] Buffett.” Correspondent Scott Horsley later used clips from President Obama to accent liberals’ class warfare spin about the rich paying a lower tax rate than “millionaires and billionaires.”

On CBS This Morning, correspondent Jan Crawford also referenced the Buffett tax issue eight minutes into the 7 am Eastern hour, during a report on the Republican presidential race in South Carolina. She used the same label as the NPR journalist: “He [Romney] revealed that he pays a relatively low rate on his investment income. That’s the same low rate that billionaire Warren Buffett pays.”
