CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller whitewashed former President Bush's role in creating $1.2 trillion in deficit for the 2009 fiscal year, instead blaming President Obama for every penny of debt increase since "the day Mr. Obama took office." But the Congressional Budget Office had already projected $1.2 trillion in deficit before Obama took office, based entirely on Bush's actions and economic conditions.

Knoller Blamed Obama For Every Penny Of Debt Since "The Day Mr. Obama Took Office"

CBS' Knoller Claimed National Debt "Increased $4 Trillion On President Obama's Watch." From Mark Knoller's August 22 article:

1. This is the kind of corporate media (R) described in Orwell's 1984

Not only does the corporate media spin the truth, they omit mention of things they do not want the public to know, and they try to rewrite history. The very pattern Orwell described.

Ptooooey on CBS, Inc. for having this stooge on staff.
