But even when they report the facts, they have had trouble influencing public opinion.

That's because the public is becoming more and more aware that you and your ilk are nothing but a bunch of newsholes.

While there is legitimate debate about the legislation's funding for voluntary end-of-life counseling sessions, the former Alaska governor's claim that government panels would make euthanasia decisions was clearly debunked.

Yeah, that's why they took it off.

The MSM certainly thinks it can spread its propaganda far and wide, with the sheeple following meekly behind it. Sometimes it works - the last election was their triumph - but it’s good to see that sometimes they can fail as well.

Howie will be disappointed to learn that McCain today backed Palin’s death panel criticisms.

Howard you are a whore. A Democrat whore. There isn’t any journalism in anything you do.

So this one time in a million years, journalists got involved in the debate and they failed to persuade public opinion?

The solution is simple. Journalists should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever interject their personal opinion into news stories again.

Perhaps journalists are no more trusted than politicians these days

it ain't 'perhaps' and it ain't 'these days.' It's been that way for quite a while, but health care just brought it out. They know some of what the bill says, and they don't buy it, no matter what you say. They know the hidden message in the bill, and denying it won't work. There is no 'death panel' but the whole bill is the equivalent. Just cut back care for those last months of life and there is the solution. Don't need no stinkin panel.

As long as they don’t do anything but parrot the Dem talking points, who needs them? We’ve already heard everything they have to say.

Sarah Palin never said anything about euthanasia. She never used the word. She talked about rationing.

Howard Kurtz still hasn’t stop MAKING THINGS UP!

We aren’t as stupid AS YOU THINK, Howard! And we are proving you to be a liar on so many things. We know how you twist words to make them fit your agenda. We know how you crop photos to fit your story (ask MSNBC what color that guy was holding the gun - the photo was cropped as not to show that).

When you lose the trust of the people, Howard, you don’t usually get it back! Just remember that the next time you MAKE SOMETHING UP! Remember that the next time you want to trash SARAH PALIN!

And, if you were intellectually honest you would report that Sarah Palin was also talking about the GOVERNMENT OPTION that would have rationed care which would choose who gets care and who doesn’t. What do you call that, Howard?!

Many of us READ THE BILL, Howard. How about you? Did you READ THE BILL, Howard?! If not, then SHUT UP! You don’t know what you are talking about!

The only thing being debunked is the author's claim to intellectual honesty, fair dealing, and credibility. The only way to control the cost of health care is to ration it. That's what socialism does: rations the available goods and services. And when a service is rationed by government, decisions regarding who gets what become politicized. Again, that's what always happens. And in case after case, when health care is rationed based on political considerations, the primary basis of that rationing is a patient's age, health, past history, and current life expectancy. You won't be able to find a single counterexample. The author knows this full well. That's why we know he's deliberately trying to decieve.

Good. Let’s leave Howard Kurtz out of some more debates. Then people might actually learn the truth about the Marxists he so loves to serve.

"The crackling, often angry debate over health-care reform has severely tested the media's ability to untangle a story of immense complexity."

Yeah, it severely tested the media's ability to cover-up and hide the facts from the American public. The internet will be the death of the Wa. Post yet! Hurry up and fold Washington Post! And take Howard with you!

Journalists, Left Out of The Debate

Good. You don't BELONG in the debate. You are supposed to rport both sides accurately. Start doing that first. Remember the old days? Too dang many 'pundits' and 'columnists' trying to tell us what to think, not enough old-fashioned reporters.

Few urinalists seem to hear the truth; they only want to wee wee on it.
