Townhall's Guy Benson today took Washington Post's Aaron Blake and Vox.com senior editor Sarah Kliff to task for uncritically furthering Obama White House spin that 5 million Americans have successfully registered for ObamaCare.

Latest Obamacare Rewrite: Readers Point Out the Obvious Which Sarah Kl

February 11th, 2014 8:52 AM
As we have seen, the television networks have avoided the controversy of President Obama unilaterally delaying  another Obamacare provision in the law yet again.

Can you imagine The Washington Post publishing a guide to how to survive your relatives’ negative questions about the war in Iraq?  On Monday, Sarah Kliff of the Post’s Wonkblog posted “A guide to surviving Obamacare debates at Thanksgiving.” That’s assuming you’re getting armed to defend Obamacare just like a good Postie. “This Thanksgiving, it's a pretty safe bet that debates over Obamacare…

November 10th, 2013 8:43 AM
If you are a health policy reporter for the Washington Post and take upon yourself the role of cheerleader for Obamacare, the task can be quite challenging.

October 4th, 2013 2:28 PM
(UPDATE: See Chad's response to Washington Post's Sarah Kliff at the end of this post.) If what Reason's Peter Suderman is reporting is correct — and he certainly appears to have done the kind of digging you would expect conscientious journalists to do — the establishment press's lionization of Chad Henderson the Fantabulous Obamacare Enrollee is about to fall apart.

June 5th, 2013 4:22 PM
For the second day in a row, The Washington Post showed it was bored by the IRS scandal by putting the hearings story inside the paper.
