and oranges to oranges but NOT when msm compares the candidates
..........On the April 18 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, during a report on the release of Sen. John McCain's tax returns, an on-screen chart showed McCain's income to be significantly lower than that of Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton when combined with the income of their spouses. However, the chart did not include any income that McCain's wife, Cindy -- who has not released her tax returns -- earned separately. As CNN political correspondent Dana Bash reported moments earlier of Cindy McCain, "Some estimates actually put her worth at about $100 million." While the chart was displayed, on-screen text read: "Comparing their wealth."........

The problem here is that the caption on the bottom says "Comparing Their Wealth" while the graphic just shows their income. That's stupid because wealth and income are not the same thing. For example, Cheney's wealth is over $100 Million dollars, but it's showing his income at $3M . . . besides the things media matters pointed out, this story is doomed from the beginning with errors, fallacies and shoddy reporting.
oh i absolutely agree with you. and of course - everyone knows wealth and income are NOT the same
