NBC Debate Moderator John Harwood Enters Dan Rather-Phase of Denial



NBC Debate Moderator John Harwood Enters Dan Rather-Phase of Denial
by John Nolte 29 Oct 2015
CNBC Republican debate moderator John Harwood has entered the Dan Rather-phase of denial.


Although Harwood was caught outright lying  in a loaded question to Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% Wednesday night, the leftwing journalist has since taken to Twitter in a pathetic attempt to cover up his provable lie with more provable lies. 

For those who missed it, @JohnJHarwood blatantly lied about Rubio's tax plan and doubled-down instead of apologizing http://thefederalist.com/2015/10/28/surprise-john-harwood-lied-about-marco-rubios-tax-plan/ …

@seanmdav by accurately citing Tax Foundation analysis?

@HashtagGriswold @TeamMarco your story is wrong. Tax Foundation said Rubio plan lifts after tax income of top 1% > middle income - as I said

@oliverdarcy @redsteeze @HashtagGriswold because it was accurate. read the question, then read Tax Foundation analysis. You'll see

Okay, let’s do that. Here’s the accusation Harwood hurled last night….

The Tax Foundation, which was alluded to earlier, scored your tax plan and concluded that you give nearly twice as much of a gain in after-tax income to the top one-percent as to people in the middle of the income scale. Since you’re a champion of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, don’t you have that backward?

And here is the final ruling from Scott Hodge, president of this very same Tax Foundation:

Rubio was right about his plan. Poor get larger tax benefit than the rich. #CNBCGOPdebate http://taxfoundation.org/sites/taxfoundation.org/files/docs/FF457-Charts_4.png …

Just two weeks agor, Harwood himself acknowledged that the basis of his Rubio accusation wasn’t true:

CORRECTING earlier tweet: Tax Foundation says Rubio benefits lowest 10% proportionally more (55.9) than top 1% (27.9%). Avg for all: 17.8%.

Harwood lied and now he he’s lying to cover up his lies.

And this is just part of his problem. From all corners of the media his colleagues are blasting his biased questioning. Even his colleagues at NBC.
