Following President Obama's July 15 press conference about the debt ceiling talks, MSNBC's news anchors pushed liberal talking points that better fit the network's outrageous prime time lefty line-up. 11am anchor Thomas Roberts asked a guest about tax policy: "Why do you think the top 2 percent of America has a chokehold on the other 98 percent?" A few minutes later, 12pm anchor Contessa Brewer disparaged the Republican position against raising tax rates: "They ignore the fact that we've been under Bush-era tax cuts and we've seen the unemployment rate skyrocket."
