PBS Judy Woodruff creating her own disinformation for the GOP. [View all]

[Bill USA]

on Thursday night's PBS NewsHour Judy Woodruff went the extra mile for the GOP spreading disinformation even the GOP doesn't use.

Ms. Woodruff in a piece about the looming Fiscal Cliff said regarding how to address the deficit reduction problem referring to Democrats and Republicans as 'each side':

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, each side, Mr. Bertolini, is arguing that they have got public opinion on their side.

actually, the GOP has never claimed, that I am aware of, that the public was on there side. They just say in their typical obdurate manner, that dealing with the deficit is paramount but not so paramount that they would agree to ANY revenue increases. I have never heard them claim the public agreed with them.

But Obama has frequently said the public does favor a 'balanced approach' to dealing with the deficit meaning not just cuts to Government programs but also revenue increases - especially involving increased taxes on the wealthy.

Polls back this claim up: A Washington Post/ABC news poll showed that 72% of those polled thought that increased taxes on those with incomes above $250,000 should be part of any deficit reduction plan:

Really, Ms. Woodruff, you really are shilling hard for the GOP these days. It's getting downright embarrassing.
