[See NewsBusters for more.] ABC and NBC on Monday night and Tuesday morning ignored what is being described as a “big setback” for ObamaCare, completely skipping the fact that insurance giant Aetna will reduce by two thirds its involvement in the President’s health care plan. This absence is despite a combined six hours of air time over the two days. Only CBS This Morning bothered to cover the story. Co-host Charlie Rose explained, “Aetna's decision is a big setback for the President's health care law. Aetna says it will only sell 2,017 health insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act in four states.” Correspondent Jan Crawford revealed that Aetna “just did the math and it was too much of a financial hit.”
