Cue Laugh Track: MSNBC's Alex Wagner Insists ‘I Try To Be' 'Non-Part
When will the folks at MSNBC stop pretending to be journalists and just admit to being liberal hosts looking to push their political agenda?

AP's Initial Report From Obama's 'You Can Keep It If It Hasn't Changed
The Associated Press's initial coverage of President Obama's attempt to "reinvent history," the term used yesterday by the National Journal's Ron Fournier, is instructive.

Obama: What I Said Was You Can Keep Your Health Care Plan 'If It Hasn

Incomplete WSJ Report Notes That 'Policy Advisers' Were Overruled by
On Saturday morning, three Wall Street Journal reporters told readers that as President Obama was promoting Obamacare, there was internal debate between "policy advisers" and "political aides" as to whether the President's obviously unqualified and unconditional "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan" statement, made roughly 20 times between his inauguration and the law's March 2010…
