How about C-SPAN for a balanced point-of-view?

As an example, this morning I clicked on to find a fellow doing a comparison of the Obama and McCain tax proposals. I was surprised at his analysis showing that both proposals result in a meaningful reduction in taxes paid by "most" Americans. In Obama's proposal, 94% of taxpayers would get a 5% reduction. In the McCain proposal, 100% of taxpayers would get a 3% reduction. Of course, in the Obama proposal, Americans within the top 4% of income-earners would get their maximum tax rate increased to he same level as was in place at the end of the Reagan administration--39%.

Listening to the spin by both candidates, you would never never be able to discern these results.
