Blackout: NBC Censors All Coverage of ObamaCare for Days
Newbusters ^

Posted on 11/21/2013 10:49:06 AM PST by chessplayer

NBC News has completely censored any mention of the unfolding ObamaCare disaster for the last 72 hours. Not one word about the millions of Americans losing their health insurance nor the severe political damage that has been done to President Obama and the Democratic Party.

So what has NBC covered instead?

> In the 7 a.m. ET half hour of Thursday's Today, back-to-back stories were featured of baseball player Alex Rodriguez storming out of an MLB doping hearing and Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn suffering a recent injury.

> The lead story on Wednesday's NBC Nightly News was about new regulations requiring seat belts on certain types of buses.

> Wednesday's Today managed to find time for an entire segment on First Lady Michelle Obama revealing her biggest fashion regret and describing her first date with Barack Obama in a BET interview.

>Nightly News on Tuesday included a full story gushing over Caroline Kennedy becoming the U.S. ambassador to Japan.

> Tuesday's Today began with co-host Matt Lauer interviewing disgraced Toronto mayor Rob Ford.

> Monday's Nightly News featured a report on the "family feud" between Liz and Mary Cheney over gay marriage.

NBC found time for all of this, and yet, could not find time to update its millions viewers on a huge policy failure potentially impacting all of them.

I bet they had plenty of coverage of the republican rep from Virginia on cocaine.

That’s because Hussein’s “fix” can’t work and they don’t want to admit it.

It’s not a story if the mainstream media simply doesn’t cover it.

They have their marching orders, and if they don’t follow them, they won’t get invited to Tina Brown’s next party, a possibly career-ending problem.

I swear, IF the RNC, the GOP or anyone lets NBC or MSNBC host or moderate any debate in the near or distant future . . . then they really are STUPID.

GE no longer owns NBC.

Comcast does (which is just as bad, as that company is 100%tied-up with the Philly Democrat Machine)

MSNBC appears to have gone total advocacy now. I keep seeing commercials for the "new" MSNBC (on other channels) that emphasize "social justice."

They're not claiming to be a hard news (Ha ha, made myself laugh!) network anymore.

MSNBC home page is currently Obamacare/ACA-free.

They do, however, have a piece on ‘conservatives ganging up on Oprah.’ I suppose she’ll have to soldier on while counting her millions, the poor victim.

Well come on, why would they pay attention to Obamacare when Kanye and the Kardashians are more important?

Why does anybody listen to the talking heads in the first place? Anything of
Importance gets reported here on FR—and we have the added advantage of getting our own 2 cents in—LOL!

My husband has started watching something called YNN, but I haven’t paid much attention to it.
