Local Liberal Media Bias on Romney's Taxes

I just made the mistake of watching the local news—Atlanta’s 11-Alive News. Early in the broadcast they reported on Mitt Romney’s newly released tax returns. After hearing from an “expert” on how Romney made a mistake in waiting this long, 11-Alive declared that Romney paid about 14% in taxes in 2011 compared to Obama’s nearly 20% (on much less income no less). What 11-Alive failed to report is that the Romney’s donated over $4 million to charity in 2011—nearly 25% of his income, which, of course, dwarfs Obama and Biden’s giving. This, combined with his taxes, means that the Romney’s forked over about 40% of their income to either charity or the government. Way to give us the whole story 11-Alive!! (Of course, this is no surprise, but they need to be called out on it.)
