OldBrownsFan Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I saw this article on Reuters today. What it leaves out of the story is why there was a fuel tax that sparked the nationwide protests. The reason for the tax was for global warming and that issue is a sacred cow for the MSM and having people riot over taxes imposed over it is not a good look for their cause....so they leave that part out of their story: French PM suspends planned fuel tax increases for six-month period http://news.trust.org/item/20181204115303-hi0oe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/nov/27/editorial-frances-fuel-tax-follies/ The working stiffs of France might argue, “au contraire, France is facing a money crisis.” Thanks to the steadily rising tax bite, taxes on both gasoline and diesel fuel are sending the price of gasoline past $7 a gallon. Mr. Macron’s popularity has plummeted into the 20 percent range, demonstrating that even in France there’s a limit to the magic in good looks and debonair demeanor. Dressing up taxes in trendy green may win the hearts of hardcore environmentalists, convinced that oil combustion is cooking the planet, but it doesn’t fool the families that bear most of the costs of staying cool or warm.

But the MSM certainly got a boner when he talked shit about President Trump. Hey Pierre You Love free shit, I understand, but somebody has to pay for it.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Donald J. Trump is with Harlan Z. Hill. 15 hrs · I may be tough with the media, but I am also the most transparent, accessible president in history. No one loves the First Amendment more than me!

OldBrownsFan Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 ABC, NBC Hide How Paris Is Burning in Opposition to Climate Change Policy When President Trump pulled the United States out of the Paris climate accord the liberal media had a global warming sized meltdown. But for three weeks now, the people of Paris have shown they’re opposed to policies born from the accord. They’ve been rioting to protest a carbon tax on fuel proposed by President Emmanuel Macron. During their Monday reports about the now deadly riots, ABC and NBC refused to mention the carbon tax, preferring to mislead viewers by calling it a simple fuel tax. ABC’s World News Tonight dedicated the least amount of time to the riots. Sensationalist anchor David Muir gave the story a mere 21 seconds where he claimed the protestors were angry over the “rising living costs”: While Macron’s carbon tax was a tax on fuel, the intent behind the tax was important because liberals here in America wanted to jack up our own gas prices with their version of the carbon tax. Their omission of this fact shows they’re trying to keep Americans from souring on a carbon tax. The same was true for their suggestion that the French people are angry at the cost of living, they’re not mentioning that socialist policies were responsible for that. And as Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson noted Monday night: “The French gas tax isn’t designed to raise money. The President has implemented it for the stated purpose of fighting climate change. Now they are fighting their own citizens instead, because the climate agenda always crushes the middle class. Always and everywhere.” https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2018/12/04/abc-nbc-hide-how-paris-burning-opposition-climate-change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have to drive to your second job to pay for the gas to get to your first job, the world will get cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
