This is very definitely quality journalism because the author goes right to a primary source and addresses questions directly. There is no obfuscation or real opportunity to cloud issues and twist facts here. The fact that he interviews a Republican at the center of the debate (where real debate is allowed) makes the article that much more credible.

Anyone with a brain and a willingness to use it had to know that there is nothing but smoke, mirrors, and pure garbage behind 90% of the flak that has been generated by the far right and the insurance giants to justify keeping a system that funnels billions directly to stockholders and middlemen. Of course, if Sarah Palin said it, I know it has to be a myth or a lie because she trucks only in falsehoods and rightwing propaganda. Olbermann hit the nail on her head and he is 100% correct in saying that she has no right to even consider running for any public office ever again based on her refusal to speak responsibly.
