Why is the media out to hurt Obama and kill healthcare bill?

[peaches2003]

I'm just watching Dr. Nancy. She is out to make Obama look bad, but is just one of many doing the same thing. She introduces Obama's former doctor of 22 years. All negative- introduces him saying he is AGAINST what Obama is trying to do to healthcare. On and on negative Obama. Then the doc talks and it turns out he is completely against private insurance companies, thinks Medicare and VA are great successes run by government, and is only against Obama's healthcare plan because it isn't single payer and Obama should go a lot further and turn health insurance totally over to the government.

What he really said was a 180 from what MSNBC/Dr. Nancy was trying to make you believe he thought. Then she interrupts him the whole time he is trying to say govt-run healthcare is good and tries to refute what he is saying because he really was making Obama look bad only in that he isn't goinig far enough! Of course she talked over him the whole time and made it a short interview.

Everything on tv is negative Obama now and the sheeple are falling for it.

10. For-profit healthcare advertising revenues

are a big source of income for the national media.

3. Are the sheeple falling for it?

4. Excellent question. Many of us have tuned-out the M$M.

:shrug:

6. We are not sheeples, but yeah, I have completely tuned out the M$M

9. I've tuned them out since

Nov 2002 when I realized they manipulated the way the midterm elections came out.

Thankfully, I think Pres Obama and Team realize they have to work around the corporatemediaWhores to get their job done.

12. Too bad MSM has become "entertainment" for so many people

Hell, viewers believe Survivor is real, why wouldn't they believe what they hear on CNN.

11. Using the few data points in my life the last week, yes. My dental hygienist, a barber,

two guys in a waiting room, two people overheard in diner and one of my neighbors who voted for Obama all recited what sounded like Fox "News" crap and stuff I've heard on CNN by "critics" of health care proposals. Their words were almost exactly the same ("government run health care", "government doctors", "forcing everyone to a public plan", "rationing health care"......)

5. all those pharmaceutical and insurance ads played on their stations perhaps?

Follow the money.

7. I admit I had been wondering why...

Dr. Nancy had suddenly gotten her own show. She'd been a guest for many years. I guess she's there to give medical expert's gloss to insurance company rape (just lie back and think of Blue Cross).

8. I do not like her...

I think a lot of her medical advise is suspect. The half dozen times I have watched her show, she seems like a medical establishment shill to me.

13. It used to be called Operation Mockingbird.

It ended... I suspect in the same way that the TIA Office did (changed the name, split it into different areas, etc.)

I guess I'm more paranoid than most. :shrug:

14. You have no clue who the sheeple are in this case.

Obama is wrong on health care unless it includes single payer.

16. The next time you're watching

these media heads, just pay attention to the ads. Every other one will be for either an health insurance company or a drug company. Your answer is right there.

17. Interesting, thanks

I never pay any attention to ads, but will now.
