More Fake News -- This Time On Taxes From ABC

Here's the headline on an article from ABC News today:

Trump Adviser 'can't guarantee' taxes won't go up for Middle Class"

What does that mean to you?  If you spend a moment, it's pretty clear; ABC is reporting that taxes on the middle class may go up under the Trump plan.  Since the President promised a middle class tax cut, that's a pretty big transgression that ABC is reporting.

Of course, if you read the article down in the text you find that Gary Cohn, a White House economic advisor, actually said that there could be a middle class family somewhere that could have unique circumstances that would lead to its paying more in taxes under the Trump plan, but that the whole point of the new tax plan was to lower the taxes by 500 to 1000 dollars for the average middle class family.  Cohn was clear; taxes will go DOWN for the average middle class family; the headline from ABC indicates just the opposite.

Why must the mainstream media be so dishonest?
