Fox Host: Public Option Would Be Tax-Payer Funded Government Health Care Program

"The reason that the public option is so controversial is, it's a government-run health option. So if you can't get health care anywhere else, this is the idea, that you could get it from this government-offered plan, which of course would be paid for by the taxpayers."

In reality, the public option would be available, as one option among many other private options, to people shopping in the health insurance exchange.

From which version of the health care proposal did they get their view that it government health care won't be taxpayer funded because the biggest sticking point in passing the plan involves the government budget which is made up from our tax money.

After a rash of mistakes and apologies over the past weeks, Fox News has sent a memo to employees announcing a new "zero tolerance" policy for on-screen errors.

FishBowlDC obtained the memo, sent last Friday, which warns mistakes could lead to written warnings, suspensions and termination.

"Please know that jobs are on the line here. I can not stress that enough," the memo reads.

Interesting. I'm a bit confused though. If it's not supported at all by tax payers why are there 17 new taxes in the current bill? And what is that money being used for? New taxes would be tax payer funded? Correct?

Anyone else find irony in the fact that conservatives always scold people for bringing up FOX in anti-MSNBC threads?

"Waaaahhhh we're not talking about FOX"

Just food for thought...

Actually yes, MSNBC plays a fine line adhering to the Journalistic Code of Ethics on its Broadcast Stations but not on Cable. FOX simply efuses the Code of Ethics and maintains its right to alter the truth
