Inverted Reality at the New York Times

Considering the almost daily sneering condescension toward Tea Partiers from the esteemed columnists at the New York Times, you have to laugh at this nugget in a story this week about budget cuts in New York City. Now consider the foundation of the tea parties is essentially resistance toward runaway government spending and deficits. Then consider this spin.

The mayor’s budget also does not contain any new taxes.

But a group of liberal members of the City Council, echoing the populist anger that has swept through much of the country, suggested that the mayor impose taxes on hedge funds and stock traders.

So there you have it. According to the New York Times, "populist anger" sweeping the country is calling for tax hikes.

Good thing they have layer upon layer of fact checkers and editors at the New York Times. So, does this make the liberal members of the City Council racist rednecks who are frothing with anger?
