The CA's Capital Hill Propagandist

Half-Bakered eviscerates the execrable Paula Wade's recent coverage of TennCare and the governor's race, exposing her incomplete, biased, reporting as pro-TennCare pro-Income Tax propaganda. I won't excerpt it here because it's so good you need to read the whole thing - and the next item right below it. And this one too.

(Full Disclosure: I have little regard for Paula Wade's honesty or credibility. A few years ago, Paula Wade was caught spreading false information about me in an attempt to undermine the credibility of my reporting on the income tax and state budget. Wade told people I was on the payroll of an anti-income tax organization. That was false and, I believe, a deliberate lie. It was self-evident that at that time I was a newspaper reporter and columnist - just as Wade was. Confronted, neither Wade nor her editors or publisher ever apologized to me for her spreading lies about me.)
