A private organization that “helped lay the groundwork” for Obamacare is hosting a symposium to “offer specialized education in health care reporting” for mainstream reporters from outlets including Reuters and Money magazine.

As reported by Rusty Weiss for FreedomWorks, the Commonwealth Fund is sponsoring a two-day symposium, hosted by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) entitled “The Business of Health Care” at Reuters headquarters in New York City. The symposium will “offer specialized education in health care reporting” and “boost knowledge of the Affordable Care Act.”

“The goal over two days will be to introduce fellows to experts in the field and explore ways to improve coverage of the issue,” according to an announcement on the SABEW website. Former Obama administration official Sherry Glied will address the reporters as a speaker at the event.

Right out of Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals :
#2) “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat.
#3) “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
#8) “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

So now they are going to train the fifth column press as to how to lead and control the discussion
and attempt to make them ‘an authority ‘ on the subject .
And I am sure that the training will be objectve.. /s

“offer specialized education in health care reporting”

Propaganda pamphlets will be passed out to all, and a free lunch will be provided.

“The goal over two days will be to introduce fellows to experts in the field and explore ways to improve coverage of the issue,”

Brainstorming sessions on how to spin this abomination. "People are reading it - how to confuse them into thinking they didn't really see what they saw in 10 simple steps."

As the goal is eventually Single Payer, I am sure the training is on how to blame every problem or issue with it on the insurance industry.

Have a demonstration outside of where they will be holding this.

Hold up signs of sheep with oooobbbbaaaaahhhhhmmmmmaaaaaa coming from their mouths.

What Alinsky des say is the worst thing that can happen to the left is to be ridiculed.

The idea of a free press in America is dead.

They are owned and operated by the DNC.

I expect such seditious actions from the Muslim collaborators at al-Reuters.

But Money Magazine!? Doesn't socialism fly in the face of their profit margin?

They'll just shrug and say, "ah, but comrade...just think how much insurance would cost without the President's plan!"
