The Tendentious NY Times
NY Times Saturday (9/27/08) edition 3rd paragraph had this commentary in speaking about the first presidential debate last night:
"Despite repeated prodding, Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama refused to point to any major adjustments they would need to make to their governing agendas — like scaling back promised tax reductions or spending programs — to accommodate what both men said could be very tough economic times for the next president"
This is simply a factual error. John McCain said explicitly that he would freeze government spending (with some exceptions like Defense and entitlements). While the tendentious NY Times may not believe that is an adjustment worthy of noting, all of us taxpayers do.
