Heckuva job, lapdogs!

Media outlets are kinda sorta almost starting to catch on to the news that consumers across the country are receiving their health insurance policy cancellation notices:
Link: Hey, look! Media finally notice Americans are getting insurance cancellation notices! | Twitchy

The American media disgusts me. The Fifth Estate died in 2008 when it did everything in its power to elect Obama, and then doubled down in 2012. No group of people is more responsible for the decline in America than the mainstream media. Today's journalists are corrupt to the core and are actively cheerleading for one side. They should be unbiased journalists who hold both sides' feet to the fire with real investigative work and objective news stories. They are not and haven't been for some time now.

Thank God for Fox News, talk radio and the internet. Without them, we would have a totally uninformed and clueless electorate.

I'd argue it's the idiots listening to right wing blogs written from someone's mother's basement is a much bigger issue. As is, course, congressional districts that lead to 10% approval rating with a 90% incumbency rate.

Faux News is an insult to read conservatives who are actually intelligent, know what they're talking about and want objective information. The damn CINOS on here are annoying.

Wow that was a quick deflection. What does that have to do with cancellation letters.

There are very few liberals that actually address things substantively here on C-D. She isn't one of them.

Other than the title and a brief quote, the OP has nothing to do with cancellation letters. It's just an attack against mainstream media. Don't get me wrong, I don't like mainstream media either, and I agree with most of what the OP says, but calling someone out for deflection on a thread that is already deflected in the first post is kind of silly.

The OP has everything to do with cancellation letters and the failure of the media to promptly report on the fact that they have been going out.

Hey Look! Media Finally Notices Americans Are Receiving Insurance Cancellation Notices!


Wow. It's only been going on for a year, and the mainstream media ALREADY picked it up? I'm impressed.

At this rate, they'll be telling us any day now, that Candidate Obama sat in the church of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright for twenty-plus years, and that Rev. Wright's sermons were often racist and anti-white.

"Freedom of the press is a flaming sword. Use it justly, hold it high, guard it well." (snicker)

You posted a link, a quote from that link, and the following paragraphs:

None of that paragraph has anything to do with cancellation laters, but has a lot to do with deriding the mainstream media. Again, it's justifiable derision, but the majority of your OP is a rant.
