Luke, it's not about regurgitating the R's talking points. It's about seeking, reporting the truth.

MSNBC'S Luke Russert would not say yes or no to Martin Bashir's question whether the Republicans were protecting the 2% of households and 3% of small businesses that would have their tax rate increased by President Obama's tax proposal (4.6% more for a total of 39.6% for taxable income over $250,000 aka the Clinton tax rate).

No, Luke, it's about calling people out when they misinform and misrepresent. Of course, you're not a real journalist--just a Republican mouthpiece.
