Tuesday’s edition of the CBS Evening News featured one of only two stories on the 2016 campaign (with the other on ABC) and centered around using a liberal tax group passed off as “non-partisan” to bash Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s tax plan.

Trumpeting the “non-partisan Tax Policy Center,” chief White House correspondent Major Garrett used multiple soundbites from senior fellow Howard Gleckman to hype that “an independent analysis says Trump's plan would cost the Treasury $10 trillion over 10 years and increase the nation's $18 trillion debt.”
