A conservative media watchdog group released a report Wednesday detailing how the CBS Evening News "led the charge" against President Bush's tax cut.

Media Research Center, parent company of CNSNews.com, found that liberals criticizing the plan as too "big" were given airtime five times more often than supporters of the Bush proposal.

"All the network evening newscasts, where most Americans get their news and information, have repeatedly misinformed and misled the public about Bush's tax cut, and CBS has been uniquely antagonistic," said Free Market Project Director Rich Noyes, who conducted the study.

MRC's Free Market Project also found that the network never revealed data reported on by NBC and ABC that demonstrated Bush's plan offers a greater percentage tax reduction to middle- and lower-income families.
