>ABCNews broke the story about Joe's tax problem. All the other news media outlets echoed the story.

>The NYTimes wrote a lot of follow-up stories about the "problem", more than they did about TurboTax Geithner, for example.

NYT: thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com

But geez, I never really looked into the Geithner tax thing. He neglected to pay self-employment taxes (which happens all the time), and then he paid them back with interest? Geez, that really wasn't much. I never bothered because, frankly, I would've loved it to be true and for him to be withdrawn. He's terrible.

>That's more than just "two people in the media."

It ain't much more than that. And if it was part of the Joe the Plumber narrative, it looks like it was for about two days. I never heard about that, and heard about the Geithner thing constantly for years.
