On Sunday's Reliable Sources, former PBS and CBS reporter
Terence Smith said President Obama "has a point" when complaining of
media malpractice in covering ObamaCare. "I think, in fact, in this case, the President has a point,
however, that headlines like that, 'Disaster,' you're labeling ObamaCare
before it has a chance," insisted Smith.
CNN's Chris Cuomo asked if the uproar over millions losing their insurance wasn't a
"straw man" that Republicans were "distracting" the media with.
TheBlaze's Will Cain fired back at those (including CNN anchors) who are paddling the GOP for not helping to mend ObamaCare. "ObamaCare was a house built upon sand. Republicans said it was for years," Cain insisted. He added, "it's amazing how many times we have to hear, 'why don't you help fix it'."
CNN's John Berman declared on Thursday that ObamaCare "passed" and "Now it's about implementing this plan. Good or bad, at this point."Berman also let Democratic strategist Kiki McLean get away with claiming that more Americans have been "covered this week." GOP guest Rich Galen had to jump in and call him out: "You can't let that go."
Liberal historian Doris Kearns-Goodwin doesn't think the press is in Obama's "pocket."
CNN's chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta wouldn't call President Obama's insurance guarantee a "lie" on Tuesday night's Piers Morgan Live.He also compared ObamaCare plans to owning a "Ferrari" versus some current health plans which are more like having a "Pinto."
Liberal journalist Mark Hertsgaard tried to shame Piers Morgan for inviting a guest who was unsure how much of climate change was manmade. Morgan responded that it would be "journalistic malpractice to not have a fair debate."
Thursday's New Day smacked Republicans for politicizing their
Benghazi investigation. "You have a negative mythology to what happened in Benghazi that is not supported by fact, it's supported by speculation," co-host Chris Cuomo spat on GOP accusations against the administration.
As HHS Secretary Sebelius testified before the Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday, CNN's Carol Costello huffed to GOP Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, "What in your mind is the point of this? Haven't we heard enough from Kathleen Sebelius?" She added that
"Americans want solutions" over more hearings.
CNN was extremely generous to President Obama after millions have lost or are set to lose their insurance despite his promise that they could keep it under his health care law.
