Fox tries to present both points of view, so yes, they had some pundit cheerleaders for deathcare just as they had pundit detractors of deathcare. But overall, the news portion of Fox news, not the opinion part, presented all the financial facts (all of which are necessarily negative and downright frightening), details and realities of zero’s deathcare plan. Nowhere else was that presented. It simply is NOT true that FNC presented some rosy view of deathcare. Anything BUT.

I see a lot of people at FR looking to be offended or martyrs or put upon or victims or whatever. Surely a bigger media villain than Fox can be found somewhere if you really, really try.

I did not say that FNC presented a "rosy view of deathcare". I said they had their share of health control cheerleaders and then I named some of them. Anything you take from this statement beyond what I actually said is something that you conjured up between your own ears and I will thank you to not attribute your own commentary to me.

As for presentation presented by Fox News and cheerleading is concerned, I heard Martha McCallen, news babe, not a commentator, make the following statement this morning: "The real question is whether or not businesses will raise their prices to pay for the new taxes brought on by Obama's health care plan". This has to be one of, if not the most asinine questions ever asked by a media talking head. No, Martha, businesses have a magic unicorn that defecates money just for such occasions. That's where they'll get the extra funds to pay for Obamacare. Good grief!

This is what passes for journalism these days on Fox News and you are sitting there defending it...
