Media Propaganda Of The Day: Romney vs. Obama Speaking Fees

The Fake News Media Jabbed Romney for 2012 Speaking Fees; Defends Obama’s in 2017

Media Propaganda Of The Day: Romney vs. Obama Speaking Fees

Slate took then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney to task in early 2012 over his claim that $360,000 in speaking fees in one year was “not very much.” Five-plus years later, the liberal website is now brushing off the one-time, $400,000 speaking fee former President Barack Obama is receiving from investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald.

Matt Yglesias (who is now at Vox) zeroed in on Romney’s hesitance to releases his tax returns in a short January 2012 item for Slate’s Moneybox blog, but soon underlined that the Republican candidate “lacks perspective on what constitutes ‘not very much’ income.”
