You don’t hate the media mob enough…

In the wake of Kamala Harris copying Donald Trump’s plan to eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers, mainstream media outlet CBS demonstrated obvious bias in its coverage of the two candidates.

For Harris, CBS’ X description was: “Vice President Kamala Harris is rolling out a new policy position, saying she’ll fight to end taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”

For Trump, CBS’ X description was: “Former President Donald Trump’s vow to stop taxing tips would cost the federal government up to $250 billion over ten years, according to nonpartisan watchdog group.”

Author Tim Murtaugh shared the side-by-side on X, joking that “Only sharp-eyed readers will be able to spot the difference in the coverage of the two proposals.”

“The big picture is clearly we have huge fiscal challenges for whoever the next president is, yet we seem to be seeing a number of proposals that would make the situation worse rather than better,” CRFB President Maya MacGuineas told CBS MoneyWatch. “Our politicians pander as their political strategy, which leaves the country so much weaker.”

CBS also says Trump’s plan “is bad tax policy” because it would create an incentive to push more income into tipping.

On Monday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Biden supports Harris’ proposal to eliminate federal taxes on tips.
