In the lead-up to Congress passing the Republican tax cut plan, various CNN shows on Tuesday played up a CNN poll finding that 55 percent of Americans oppose the proposal.

On Monday's MSNBC Live, host Stephanie Ruhle -- also a business correspondent for NBC -- was inserting a left-leaning view of economics into the discussion of the Republican tax cut plan as she proclaimed that "income inequality is the biggest issue that plagues this nation -- one of the biggest issues." Right-leaning MSNBC contributor Bret Stephens had a mixed view of the plan as liberal…

After making completely false claims about the GOP tax reform bill on ABC’s Good Morning America earlier on Sunday, Clinton lackey George Stephanopoulos spent most of This Week leading the discussion tearing it down.
