I Am Used To Wingnuts Making Things Up! Shuster I Expect Better From However!
As Media Matters points out the wingnuts are making things up again.
Summary: Leading up to President-elect Barack Obama's swearing-in ceremony, several media outlets have advanced the claim that Obama's inauguration will cost significantly more than President Bush's 2005 inauguration. Citing "estimates" ranging from $150 million to $170 million in total costs for Obama's inaugural events, the outlets have compared the purported total costs in 2009 to the approximately $42 million in private funds spent on Bush's 2005 inauguration. However, these outlets omit the additional costs of security, transportation, and other expenses incurred by federal, state, and local governments in conjunction with the events in 2005 while including them in the projections for the 2009 events.
But I truly do expect better from MSNBC and the likes of David Shuster. Now the real question I have is, will Olbermann or Maddow call him out on it tonight?
