“Presenting reliable facts is the most important and the most basic aspect of good journalism.” This is the guideline for News Trust reviewers. The heart of this article is “Experience with Medicare suggests that a government-run plan would have lower costs than private insurers; in addition, it would introduce more competition and keep premiums down.” This is not factual information. Instead it is liberal propaganda. A simple news search will find that Medicare is going broke and that liberals themselves are looking at Medicare as an example of inefficiency. Furthermore, the same loose “logic” could be applied to any and all ‘for profit’ insurance companies.

I would agree that Obama is a master of ‘Clintonese’, as perhaps most politicians are. The only thing more worrisome than an all talk and no substance politician is a no substance politician who actually tries to ‘fix’ something. I am not directing this at Obama exclusively, but at all politicians. Spinmasters are eventually perceived as such.
