Why am I not surprised. I read the Wash., Post and yes, they have moved right. They are a for profit newspaper whose subscribers are leaving in droves and I only continue with them is because I pay for Sun, only and still get it everyday.

As for the TV media etc., they too are following Murdochs lead...go along or get fired. Fox even hires their own obscure liberals that nobody's heard of who are to end up agreeing with the right.

They are counting the people who are against it and the people who would like to repeal it and create a single payer system in the same numbers.

Status: offline 		It's a personal quirk of mine that anyone who writes a screed, or in an reactionary mode, is promptly disregarded no matter what side of the aisle they're from.  And you're taking O'Reilly's word for this?

The whole article reads like something straight from Fox (Beck or O'Reilly in particular).  Maybe even Limbaugh.  NBC's owned by GE; they'll take up with whomever offers the best benefit to GE.

Dayum.

Source is owned by Philip Anschutz. Anschutz is significantly less credible than Rupert.

The author of the opinion column is some random right winger from Connecticut. The column contains no facts but lots of smears and innuendos.

But you haven't provided a source, I guess we'll just have to take your word for it too

OK you showed us that Anshultz owns the website, but not why he's not credible, nor have you proven the author is some "random right winger" typing nothing but lies and innuendos.

If the column was all lies and innuendo, why hasn't he been sued for slander?

It is virtually impossible for a 'public figure' to win a defamation lawsuit in the US. The standard of proof requires mind reading.
