In fact, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) has authored a proposal that would, according to the accompanying press release, "provide tax relief to more than 90 million working families through a permanent repeal of the individual alternative minimum tax (AMT) and enhancement of other tax benefits." The press release also stated that Rangel's plan is "entirely revenue-neutral." http://mediamatters.org/items/200711040003 Sun, 4 Nov 2007 16:28:47 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606050005 On PBS' <em>Washington Week</em>, host Gwen Ifill suggested that a political "caffeine gap" could "hold the key to the next election," suggesting that the preponderance of coffee shops in "Red State" Arizona "explains John McCain." http://mediamatters.org/items/200606050005 Mon, 5 Jun 2006 15:09:05 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200603070009 <em>New York Times</em> staff writers David Sanger and Elisabeth Bumiller used the opportunity presented by President Bush's March 3 visit to Pakistan to contrast Bush's "more public landing" on Air Force One with Clinton's 2000 visit, in which, Bumiller wrote, he "slipped into Islamabad for six hours on an unmarked military jet." However, both Sanger and Bumiller ignored the historical and political context of Clinton's trip to Pakistan and the security measures taken by Bush that undermine any notion that he "arrived with a roar on Air Force One." http://mediamatters.org/items/200603070009 Tue, 7 Mar 2006 15:23:51 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200602280002 Several journalists and media figures have taken to describing Democratic criticism of the Bush administration's approval of a deal allowing state-owned Dubai Ports World to assume control of six major U.S. ports as an attempt by Democrats to move "to the right" of President Bush and Republicans in Congress on issues of national security. In fact, some of the Democrats who have most strongly denounced the deal have been among the most active proponents of enhancing port security since the 9-11 terrorist attacks. http://mediamatters.org/items/200602280002 Tue, 28 Feb 2006 12:28:34 EST
