The ObamaCare propaganda push over at The Washington Post‘s Wonk Blog just went into overdrive. Moving beyond the White House’s misuse of the word “enrollee,” The Post is now reporting the flat-out false claim that 365,000 “have purchased private insurance”
The failure of the mainstream media’s months-long crusade to exploit the horrific murders at Sandy Hook Elementary into restrictions against our Second Amendment civil rights was already apparent. On the federal level, no new gun controls were passed, and the

Other than enthusiastically shaking the hand of Cuban dictator Raul Catro, another bizarre moment for President Obama at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service was when Obama was caught in a lighthearted moment taking what is known as a “selfie” with British
CNN anchors Brooke Baldwin and Jake Tapper did nothing wrong here. The segment was being recorded for later broadcast and restarts are part of that process. The inexplicable blunder is that, according to Inside Cable News, CNN actually broadcast this
For those who believe in human rights and liberty, the sight of our president bounding up some stairs to energetically shake hands with Raul Castro, dictator of Cuba, was more than a little unsettling — regardless of the circumstance. But
I’m 47 years-old, healthy, not overweight, and exercise regularly. My parents are healthy, I eat right (except during the holidays because pie), don’t smoke, don’t drink, and have no health insurance. But now that I’m finally able to access Healthcare.gov

Like the rest of the mainstream media, The New York Times is right on-the-ball with its three-years-late vetting of ObamaCare. Monday the Times discovered that all this happy talk from Obama, Democrats, and, well, The New York Times, about “affordable”
MSNBC is not having a good month. Two of their anchors — Alec Baldwin and Martin Bashir — have already been fired for offensive name-calling. Sunday, a third MSNBC anchor, Touré, launched an outrageous racialist attack against CNN’s Don Lemon.
Apparently the media is growing tired of the White House selectively releasing ObamaCare data that gets to the heart of nothing but makes the program look like it is much more popular than it likely is. For instance, today the

On Friday, NBC’s First Read led with criticism of Ronald Reagan that bled into Chuck Todd’s MSNBC show, “The Daily Rundown.” Todd and company are obviously eager to remind voters that a minority of Republicans, including then-President Reagan, were “slow”
In yet another example of White House dissembling and our subservient media rolling over, the White House admitted Thursday that President Obama not only knows a Kenyan uncle who faced deportation, but that the president lived with this uncle in
Wednesday night, MSNBC “Hardball” host Chris Matthews announced that his interview with the president, which is scheduled for today, gave him “the Christmas Eve excitement.” Outside the left-wing fever swamp of MSNBC, Matthews is perhaps most famous to the American
If you have “enrolled” in something, that means you have “obtained” it, and if you have not yet paid for your health insurance, you are not insured or enrolled. This isn’t a debatable point among the intellectually honest, and yet
