CNN and The Narrative

In an article posted at CNN Money, Chris Isidore reports that President Bush laments that his name has been so firmly associated to the tax cuts instituted during his administration, acknowledging that it makes the tax cuts a target.  Isidore goes on to discuss Bush’s disagreement with Obama regarding the Buffet Rule. That’s all fine and well.

However, within the article are two CNN links, apparently inserted by their system, right into the body of the article. The first:

Millionaires who owe no federal income tax

And:

America’s richest tax breaks

In an article about Bush, the Bush Tax Cuts, and the Buffet Rule on taxing the rich, there just happen to be links to two articles that demonize the wealthy. But the MSM isn’t trying to foment class warfare. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, and it would all be better if I just stopped paying such close attention.
