Media Malpractice: AP Coming Clean About ObamaCare After it Gets Passed-Hot Air

Folks, we’re seeing a carefully orchestrated information dump by the main stream media to cover its ass.

Last night I posted an article about NBC finally running a story about the serious damage ObamaCare will do to the fiscal structure of the United States.

Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air wrote this brilliant piece you must read calling out the Associated Press for reporting information about Obama Care they purposely sat on until after the bill became law.

There are two points of this story I want to make clear.

1. The truths about Obama and why it’s a bad law.
2. Media activism in the sense that they acted as government agents disseminating information put out by the Obama administration instead of reviewing, questioning and reporting the merits of the legislation on behalf of the public.

We as Conservatives know why ObamaCare is horrible for the country because e we cared enough to learn what’s actually in it.

The main stream media actively cheerleaded the legislation and reported only the benefits the government claimed the law would provide.

However, the proper function of a free press is to examine, question, and report the goings on of government.

That did not happen here!

And that’s as big a scandal than the legislation itself.

Here are key excerpts of Morrissey's article

[a key tax break that kept retirees on company prescription-medication plans will mean dumping millions of seniors onto Medicare — and that the AP ignored it until now]

[With more than 3,500 companies now getting the tax break as an incentive to keep providing coverage, others are almost certain to announce similar cost increases in the weeks ahead as they sort out the impact of the change]

[The Democrats in Congress argued that they would gain $5.4 billion in revenue by eliminating the tax break enacted in the 2003 Medicare Part D program as an incentive for businesses to keep their retirees out of the Medicare system. Instead, they have given businesses a reason to dump their retirees out of the private networks and into the Part D system now. Not only will the expected tax revenues never appear, but now we will have to spend a lot more money covering those prescriptions out of public funds. The seniors in these programs will suffer most of all, as the Part D coverage is vastly inferior to the private plans offered by businesses in the private sector.]
