MSM Worships, You Don't Get to Decide V

Buyer Beware. The MSM is reporting that 45,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. Statist newsreader Couric: “...while the debate goes on over the cost of insuring everyone, a new study reveals the cost of not doing it. The Harvard study says nearly 45,000 American deaths every year are linked to a lack of insurance.” The study actually is from the Physicians for a National Health Program, “the only national physician organization in the United States dedicated exclusively to implementing a single-payer national health program.”

Meanwhile, Investors Business Daily, full article here, polled doctors. Forty-five percent would quit, if ObamaCare is implemented. That certainly would save a lot of people. Plus, "72% of the doctors polled disagree with the administration's claim that the government can cover 47 million more people with better-quality care at lower cost." Plus, "Two-thirds, or 65%, of doctors say they oppose the proposed government expansion plan. This contradicts the administration's claims that doctors are part of an "unprecedented coalition" supporting a medical overhaul."

"Four of nine doctors, or 45%, said they "would consider leaving their practice or taking an early retirement" if Congress passes the plan the Democratic majority and White House have in mind."

In the journalism I was taught, both these stories would have been reported.

A side note, FAIR, Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting, a Leftist media watchdog group, reports that Fox News is biased to Republicans. They did a head count and show that more Republicans get interviewed that Dems. I would like to see how many Dems are invited and refuse interviews. They are a cowardly lot, and mostly go to venues that toss softballs to them. I want to see the number of refused interviews.
