It seems to be an official CNSNews.com policy — nothing positive must ever be reported about President Obama and his administration, and any story must lead with the most negative spin possible.
Penny Starr, being a loyal CNS employee, implements the policy perfectly in an April 14 article on Obama’s tax returns. Here’s how she starts it:
President Barack Obama gave $1,500, or 0.3 percent of his income, to St. John’s Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C., according to his 2013 tax return.
The tax return, made public on Friday and filed jointly with first lady Michelle Obama, shows Obama’s income for the year was $503,183. In Schedule A, under “cash contributions,” the $1,500 donation to St. John’s is listed.
It’s not until the fourth paragraph that Starr gets around to mentioning that the Obamas donated more than $59,000 to charities last year.
Starr has performed her Obama-bashing duty. Her boss, Terry Jeffrey, must be proud.
