CNN Ravaged for Finally Telling Truth About ObamaKare

Now a talk show host is a different story, but they are not news guys.

But they are part of the network and accepted as the truth by their followers..
Mike Lee is up to 50% disapproval and getting trashed by fellow Mormons for hurting his state's tourism, direct quotes..
 
I have been following politics since Eisenhower and before cable, it is true the networks were slightly biased towards the democrats, nothing over though or propagandists as you put it.

I agree and prior to the George W. Bush era that was also my observation, but since then the media has become borderline propagandist.


CNN as really left wing when it came on the air, but since Ted Turner sold it, it has moved back towards the center and is probably just a little center left.

Again, I agree.

FOX is right wing with its talks shows and slightly biased with its news.

Again, I believe you are correct.

MSNBC is so far to the left we'll just leave it at that.

That's a fact Jack.

As getting back to the major over the air networks, they still are slightly biased, more in what they don't say than say. This is my opinion from years of following politics, The networks outside of MSNBC are nothing like you describe them, propagandist.

I believe their bias is a healthy mix of what stories they choose to report on, what stories the decide not to report on, as well as the way they present their stories. When you have ABC, NBC and CBS blaming the republicans exclusively for the government shutdown in 41 stories, and not assigning blame to democrats or Obama in even one, the word "propaganda" seem to me to be a pretty good fit.

Okay, that is probably true.

Yeah, I agree on the over the air networks. It is what stories they put on and what ones they don't.
 
Are you gonna watch any of the World Series tonight??
Okay, that is probably true.
Btw, Shaheen who is up for reelection, asked for some sort of delay yesterday..
Even with her big lead, she hears the phone calls..

Justice Roberts ending the mandatory Medicaid extension still flies under the radar hurting ACA .
 
When MSNBC shows direct quotes from FOX, the TEAturd hate-machine, and their stooges in Congress and other elected office,
it's hard to call it left-wing.. I call it multiple comdey-hours..
Okay, that is probably true.
The Tea-Congresswoman from NC who is getting TEApartied herself had an AR-15 stolen from her unlocked gargage..
Limbaugh. Beck, O'Reilly .

No on the World Series, I don't care for either team. In fact those two teams involved are at the bottom of the list of my favorite teams. I may have the radio on to keep track of the score though.

CNN had Henry Waxman on while I was eating supper, he skirted and danced around a couple of fastball, not softball question. He didn't answer them in other words. The ACA is still a hard sell, look at the latest RCP Average. Although the average gap is now down to about 8 points instead of the 12-15 prior to the shutdown. Still more Americans oppose than are for it.

Imagine what RCP average for ACA would be if there was zero 24/7 onslaught of negative preemptives!!

KentuckY governor..640,000 no insurance.. interview with Gov. Steve Beshear..
Praises Ohio Republican GOV. Kasich for signing up potential 275,000 on Medicaid..
Slapping both Kentucky Senators.."Don't know what state they're from"..

Kentuckians having to wade through Misinformation for months..
Kentucky Folks Going on this website in droves..
Affordable health insurance for first time in their lives..Southern Democratic Governor .

I am not slamming ACA, just looking at the numbers. Of course so too are those in favor. I have always thought the fate of the ACA will be decided by those who had insurance prior to the implementation of the ACA, whether their insurance is better, worse or the same. Whether they will pay more, pay less or about the same. But my main interest here is not whether the ACA is good or bad, it doesn't effect me. I keep track of the numbers to see if the ACA will be an issue or not in November of 2014. It was in 2010, not in 2012, it is kind of keeping track of the numbers concerning the shut down, although I do not think the shut down will have much of an effect on next years election, it never hurts to keep track of them just in case.

When the Democrats signature law is opposed by more people than are in favor of it, the potential as being an election changer is always there. But the question that remains to be answered, will it be as hot an issue as it was in 2010 or a dud issue as in 2012. Personally I do not see the enthusiasm that was there in 2010 for its repeal although the numbers from March of 2010 and today are roughly the change. I think most people has resigned themselves to it even though they oppose it.

18,000 less people in Kentucky are against ACA now, since they are signed up, about a 1,000 a day..
The Kentucky governor makes a great case, as did Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota before her Senate election..
And then there's the 10,000 who have signed up in Oregon..
And the Admin's best man on the overhaul..A sreamroll is a comin'.
