This one made me think a little more than I anticipated.I wonder if we could form a journalism website like Act Blue and donate to publications we actually use and read.I actually think that is a good fair way for big newpapers like the New York Times to be compensated for foreign offices or some of the Washington DC papers that do extensive investigative journalism pieces
The Interviewer was accurate but the Senator was way off on his costs and his suggestions to reduce costs.The first interviewer properly challenged him but he also allowed him a full reign of commonly used distortions of the truth without challenge point by poimt.The CBO came out and not only was the costs not near a trillion dollars as the Senator from Wyomong claimed it actually (over ten years) it came in well under the 900 billion and would also reduce the defict by 81 billion over the same ten year period.
Rachel Maddow in honest and intelligent.This question is posed in a manner that takes her word in print literally.I watched her show and her comment was stated in a context that was designed to show contrast.I give the question a quality scale of 6 .So now your rated as well Newstrust.
