ABC's John Stossel: 'I Hate It That ABC Didn’t Run My Piece
John Stossel on Monday blogged about the fact that ABC bumped a planned segment of his that is skeptical towards universal health care, saying, "Yes, I am sick of the coverage of Michael Jackson.

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.

MSNBC's Dr. Nancy: White House Agenda Is Our Agenda

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…
