During a live interview with House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday’s NBC Today, co-host Matt Lauer refused to accept the fact that ObamaCare was in a state of collapse. After Ryan listed the numerous problems with the health care law, Lauer responded with liberal talking points: “I just want to say that a lot of people disagree with that terminology that ObamaCare is collapsing under its own weight.”
One can forgive Lauer for not realizing just how fundamentally unstable ObamaCare has become given that network news systematically ignored the law’s growing failures throughout the 2016 campaign. A Media Research Center study released just days before the November election found that the network evening newscasts spent a mere 10 minutes 21 seconds of combined air time on ObamaCare’s problems that year.
