AP - most deceptive news agency ever? "'You Lie' Shifts Health Debate"

[HughMoran]

That was the headline on the homepage.

Subheadline:

"Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst puts focus on coverage of illegal immigrants in health care reform."

Then, the actual article:

Health care talks focus on illegal immigrants

"WASHINGTON — Senators closing in on a comprehensive health care bill have whittled away all but the most contentious issues and one of those loomed large Friday: coverage for illegal immigrants.

Negotiators on the Senate Finance Committee thought they'd already resolved the question. That was before Republican Rep. Joe Wilson's shout of "You lie!" as President Barack Obama said in a speech Wednesday that illegal immigrants wouldn't be covered under his health plan.

That led senators to revisit the issue to make sure they have provisions in place to enforce prohibitions against illegal residents getting federally subsidized coverage.

"What we are trying to prevent is anyone who is here illegally from getting any federal benefit," said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., a member of the so-called Gang of Six of three Democratic and three Republican members of the Finance Committee. The group is facing a deadline early next week to produce a bipartisan deal.

If they don't succeed, Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., plans to go it alone with a Democratic bill.

1. Baucus, Sir, Must Be Stripped Of His Chairmanship

If Reid does not do it, it will not trouble me to see him beaten by a Republican next year.

2. Has AP even bothered to report the new polling numbers yet?

The polling that shows massive new support for Obama and HCR?

The second look at the immigrant issue is a side issue at best. This is really bad reporting. :mad:
