Uncritical Media Magnify GOP’s Lies About Health Care

From an article in the Open Left Blog, by my friend, David Sirota:

“Political headlines of late have all been some version of Dow Jones Newswire’s recent scream: ‘CBO Puts Health Care Bill Cost at $1 Trillion.’ That’s as true as an Enron press release touting only one side of the company’s ledger. Though the bill’s expenditure do total $1 trillion, the CBO confirms its other provisons recover more than that, meaning headlines should read, ‘CBO Says Health Bill Saves $110 Billion’.”

To really get your blood boilding, read David’s detailed examples of media malfeasance here.
