1. I too am shocked by the media coverage.
ABC deliberately looked for "small businesses" who were "concerned" that health care reform could cost them money. There was nothing to balance that story at all. The network essentially just parroted GOP talking points, making sure they included the GOP Congressman who said if there is no health care reform, it will be because the Democrats couldn't agree on it. Nice media set up.

All I have heard on the media are the right-wing talking points, no matter how trivial, how ridiculous, how based in fiction. They are repeated over and over and over again. What is wrong with the Democratic party and why are they unable to get any message out in the media?
