In a Sept. 30 column that purports to attack the (so-called liberal) media’s role as “the guardians of ‘fact,'” Brent Bozell doesn’t bother sticking to the facts himself, stating that President Clinton “passed the largest tax increase in American history, right down to the middle class.”
As we’ve noted whenever the MRC pushes this canard, the facts show that a 1982 tax increase signed by President Reagan was bigger on an adjusted-for-inflation basis.(And we know how important it is at the MRC to adjust for inflation.)
