"Apparatchik" is defined as as unquestioningly loyal subordinate: a subordinate who is unquestioningly loyal to a powerful political leader or organization. You can find a cadre of Obama apparatchiks here. They are known as the Editorial Board of the NY Times. It is claimed that this board operates independently of the regular "news operations" but if no one objects to it, well....
I was going to title this "The Devil Wears Pravda."
Pravda is the Russian government information outlet, unflinchingly loyal to the leader of the Communist government. The NY Times editorial board has become the US version of Pravda. It has become a pathetic, apologetic, partisan, left wing shadow of itself. It is sodden with democrat bias. It is essentially an arm of the Obama Progressive Movement and the National Democratic Committee.
What it cannot do is tell the truth. The board is an Obama propaganda machine. Yesterday they posted an editorial entitled
"Insurance Policies Not Worth Keeping"
In it, they decide what's worth keeping and what is not despite a complete absence of facts. But more importantly, they send a very important message- lying is acceptable to get what you want.
"He clearly misspoke."
Congressional Republicans have stoked consumer fears and confusion with charges that the health care reform law is causing insurers to cancel existing policies and will force many people to pay substantially higher premiums next year for coverage they don’t want. That, they say, violates President Obama’s pledge that if you like the insurance you have, you can keep it.Mr. Obama clearly misspoke when he said that.
Misspoke? This is astonishing - it is a lie in itself. Obama didn't misspeak. He LIED.
It could be argued that Obama misspoke when he claimed that premiums would go down 3000% when he meant to say that premiums would go down an average of $2500 per year (and that was another lie). That's closer to what one might call misspeaking.
Let's revisit what Obama said one more time:
“No matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor.Period.
If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan.
Period.
No one will take it away.
No matter what.”
Obama probably said it hundreds of times and he knew it wasn't true. He and his aides knew that the truth wouldn't sell:
The former official added that in the midst of a hard-fought political debate “if you like your plan, you can probably keep it” isn’t a salable point.
They knew the truth wouldn't sell. This wasn't misspeaking. This was wholesale deceit and the point cannot be made too strenuously. The President of the United States and the democrat Congress sold America a lie.
The Times' apparatchiks then spend the rest of their apologia defending Obama's big lie:

Calling the interplanetary craft.
The top dem lying, and their media defending them. Business as usual.
Of course. The Marxist Left has two mantras in its aim of achieving world socialism:
1. The end justifies the means.
2. By any means necessary.
I had a liberal tell me today that it was OK that Obama lied to him about Obamacare, since it will do so much good, and all politicians lie.
How do you get past that kind of media programming?
Tell them that when rioting breaks out in the street at the start of CW2 that they should come over to your place where you can protect them. wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more...
I fear this has all come about because of a serious misunderstanding about what President Obama actually said.
The reports misquoted President Obama when they claimed he said, "You can keep your plan if you like it". What President Obama actually said was "you can keep your plan if I like it.
Question: How do you know when Lord Jug Ears is “misspeaking”? Answer: When his lips are moving.
