NBC's Meredith Vieira to Dick Morris: GOP Plan to 'Sit and Watch Obama
NBC's Meredith Vieira on Thursday conducted a defensive interview with Fox News contributor Dick Morris, at one point skeptically wondering if "the Republican tactic from this point on" would be "to sit and watch Obama fail." Later, when Morris pointed out the problems with the Canadian health care system, the Today host retorted, "But, the President clearly has said that's not the road he's…
Nets Highlight Obama's Hug at Health Forum; CNN: 'Bold Display of Pres
Network reporters swooned over President Barack Obama hugging a woman, who has cancer and lacks insurance, at his Wednesday “town hall” on health care, as both CNN -- where Suzanne Malveaux heralded the hug as “a bold display of presidential concern” -- and NBC failed to point out how all the questions (just seven in total) were pre-selected or from members of pro-Obama groups. Instead, NBC's…
ABC Features Own Journalist in 'Debate' With Conservative Gingrich on
ABC medical expert Dr. Tim Johnson, a fervent fan of universal health care, actually talked to the other side on Wednesday, featuring Newt Gingrich for what an onscreen graphic labeled a "debate" on the merits of a government-run program. It might seem odd for the network to tag a segment of a conservative talking to one of its journalists as a debate, but Johnson is certainly a partisan on this…
The Other Side of the Health Care Debate the Matador Media Should Be H
For the Matador Media, One Side Fits All As the media walk hand-in-hand with the Left towards their fantasy-addled government medicine Utopia, they routinely forget that there is another perspective out there as to whether or not the government should commandeer the nation's private health care system. A perspective on which they, had they not already…
John Stossel's ABC Health Care Special Pulled in Favor of Even More (G
Got this e-mail earlier this afternoon, which pretty much says it all about ABC's news priorities:The links in the e-mail are after the jump.
MSNBC's Dr. Nancy: White House Agenda Is Our Agenda
At one point during her new MSNBC show today, Dr. Nancy Snyderman proclaimed: "the White House, their health care agenda continues to be our agenda."Snyderman would probably say she meant it only in terms of the subject matter the show will cover, not its point of view. But she was, if unintentionally, revealing a larger truth. Just in time for the Obama admin's push on health care, MSNBC has…
Obama's 'Very Best Care' For His Own Family ABC Comment Largely Unimpo
Clearly, the most important takeaway from ABC's low-rated White House forum on health care was President Barack Obama's admission that he would go outside the constraints of a nationalized system to get the "very best care" if necessary for his own family.Hot Air's Ed Morrissey noted that Obama's response should properly be seen as "a Michael Dukakis moment that exposed him as a hypocrite."A…
Friday Funnies: 'What If Government Ran Health Care
The good folks at Reason have created a short video satirizing what healthcare will look like in America if the Democrats have their way (h/t Hot Air):
ABC/Obama Healthcare Special Not So Special in Ratings Game
Sorry I didn't get to this until two days later, but I figured someone else would have written about this by now. Since no one did, for those of you that are curious, Obama's super special, ultra spectacular healthcare infomercial was a dud in the ratings last Wednesday night.ABC's Barackspactacular Healthcare Extravaganza (I think that was the official name of the show, wasn't it?) went up…
Obama Says We Shouldn't Treat Old Folks to Save Money And the Media Go
I am wondering when the euthanasia folks are going to start touting this one? I mean, it sure seemed to me as if the most caring, most civil, most intelligent president evah just said that healthcare could be cheaper if we don't give old folks and the infirm the full measure of care they now get. It appeared that Obama said we should just let them die or suffer because they aren't worth the…
MRC's Brent Bozell Declares ABC the 'All Barack Channel
"ABC News has more than earned the title of the All Barack Channel, they have recklessly fought to achieve it," Media Research Center President Brent Bozell stated in a press release today.The network had promised to deliver a health care presentation that would "not be ‘slanted' in any way - much less a ‘day-long infomercial' or ‘in-kind free advertising'," but not a single expert was offered to…
