Since the AMA represents only a fraction of the medical doctors in this country, the true answer is likely to be nobody is lying, per se. The only lie is the implication that the AMA speaks for doctors on the whole, when they do not...

The AMA is a political group representing a small fraction of doctors. Both are truthful, but the LAT story is misleading because the AMA only speaks for the most liberal of doctors, not the majority.

The AMA represents only 20% of doctors, and is hardly unanimous at that. So their "support" means little compared to a survey of physicians at large.

AMA represents a very small portion - about 15% of these doctors. Let them be in full support. The rest of the doctors AREN’T!
