Healthcare Writer Sneezes At Star-Telegram Obamacare Story

[white cloud]

MAGGIE MAHAR.

Maggie Mahar is something of a national expert when it comes to the healthcare industry. She’s written a book, news articles, and frequent blog posts on the subject. Before that she was a financial writer and a Yale University professor.

Mahar, who describes herself as an unbiased healthcare reporter, recently began blogging about the mainstream news media’s lack of understanding and overall poor coverage of Obamacare. To prove her point, “Anatomy of an Obamacare ‘Horror Story’ ” deconstructs a piece published by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

She found numerous holes in the Nov. 26 Star-Telegram article “Obamacare Stirs Anxiety For Thousands With Cancelled Policies.” She also determined that most of those featured in the story were Tea Party members with ulterior motives.

Six weeks later, Mahar still doesn’t believe the Startlegram has owned up to its mistakes or updated its story properly.

1. We'll tell you what the news is!

Facts are lies! Opinion is truth.

4. And propaganda is sold as fact-based news. eom

2. If the Star-Telegram has any ethics (or guts), they would print this on their front page.

3. I don't care what excuses they use for that shoddy piece of "journalism" on the PPACA

in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The fact of the matter is, limited resources or not, the paper clearly wanted to paint a gloomy and negative picture of the PPACA law in order to influence and shape their readers' perception of one the most groundbreaking laws that benefits We the People since Medicare.

When will the People wake up and stop allowing corporate media to influence their thinking? When will they realize they're being brainwashed by corporations hellbent on pushing for a widening gap of income and social inequality and finally demand their fair share in a government of, by, and for the People?

Because up until that moment, Corporatism will continue to erode what our Founding Fathers have worked so hard for and Civil Rights leaders have fought and died for until we're back to the "good ol' days" when robber barons pillaged our pockets and We the People become indentured slaves to the wealthy and well-connected. That, in a nutshell, is their ultimate goal.

Thank you, Maggie Mahar, for your piece, Anatomy of an Obamacare "horror story", exposing these propagandists as the anti-American fascist lackeys and enemy of the American people that they are, posing as journalists.
