On her show, "State of the Union," Candy Crowley EXPOSED the lies of Hannity in regard to the less than civilized behavior of the Tea Baggers that ? VISITED ? Capital Hill during the passage of the "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."
Murdoch's Shawn Hannity stated there was no proof of the uncivilized behavior of the Tea Baggers as they spit on a Congressman, whom by the way did not press charges.
Well, there was proof, but, the manipulative Hannity CHOSE not to show the video.
Evidently, the only PROOF Hannity understands is video, eyewitness accounts, including Police reports don't matter.
I was pleased Ms. Crowley thought enough of the integrity of the Congressman to dispell the lies Hannity was weaving.
I thank her for that.
This is just good reporting. Getting the facts correct and being sure there is at least one place concerned citizens can turn to find 'the truth' is simply taking on the responsibility of journalism.
It is not partisan reporting. It is simply just GOOD reporting and editorial content. "State of the Union," is more or less editorial content RATHER THAN the 'entertainment' show the Murdoch and Rush Shows claims are their 'right.'
While I am driving I listen to the rants of the Right on Rush or Murdoch depending on the tone for the day.
Well, yesterday on my way to Stoneville, the angry airwaves of Rush Radio was hard at work. I have never heard such hatred of human beings in a partisan way before in my life.
There is only one thing I am going to say. It seem more than obvious while I read the "The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," that the 'exchanges' are where the Public Option lives. It is the exact same thing. The Public Option was going to open up the insurances Federal employees, including the President and Congress, have to chose from.
The exchanges are the same thing, only at a State level with commercial carriers. If there is any reason State Attorney Generals are opposing this law, it is only for political purposes. As far as I am concerned the 'candidates' opposing anyone that voted for the new law or have ambitions in politics, are seeking to defy the law in any capacity through the elections of 2010.
There is a Public Option. It is not called a Public Option, but, it looks remarkably similar. It is the exchanges that provide alternatives to draconian commercial insurance.
