AP uncritically reported Palin's mischaracterization of Obama's tax plans

SUMMARY: The AP uncritically reported that Gov. Sarah Palin "warned voters about Democratic plans to raise taxes 'on America's hard-working families and our small businesses and a lot of folks just like Joe the Plumber and Ed the Dairyman out there.' " But the AP did not point out Obama has proposed cutting taxes for low- and middle-income taxpayers and raising taxes on only individuals earning more than $200,000 per year and families earning more than $250,000 per year.
