Journalistic Malpractice: Meet the Press conveniently doesn't ask Maxine Waters about "...we're going to tax them out of business."

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who's being investigated by the House Ethics Committee, was on Meet the Press (transcript) yesterday where she promoted her public policy for " a jobs program of a trillion dollars or more."

Host David Gregory apparently didn't see it fit to ask her about her recently articulated public policy position:

If [banks] don't come up with loan modifications and keep people in their homes that they've worked so hard for, we're going to tax them out of business.

That's right up there with her threat to an oil company executive:

[T]his 'liberal will be all about 'socialize' [sic]...er, ah ... basically, ... about the government taking over and running your companies!"
