NYTimes' Distorted "Public Opinion" Reporting On Health Care Expands

OpEdNews :

Paul Krugman may be the liberal voice of the New York Times, but the paper is guilty of reporting about an America that doesn't exist--one that is opposed to health care reform. It is guilty of giving aide and comfort to the insurance industry.

I hold NYT editorial staff-and its biased reportrs- responsible for decline of print journalism in the USA. The gray lady turned into a yellow slut. I canceled my subscription four years ago and never missed it.

Thank You, thank you, thank you!!!! Finally, someone has caught on with NYT. This paper is full of scumbags that are in the tank for insurance companies. and because liberals think it is a liberal paper, it has been using that advantage to drive the knife into the heart of the healthcare reform debate. It has helped pile on the skeptics, using its claim on credibility as a left of center paper. Finally, someone has exposed them. Thank you!

Finally! I have said repeatedly that these lies, opinions and deceptions were just that, made up crap.

What is truly disheartening is to see DEMOCRATS eat up the lies. moaning and pissing. They swallow every story like it is the gospel truth.

I expect the frightwingers to tell and believe lies and deceit, but I though the dems were more intelligent than this.

I keep saying, PEOPLE, please do not believe everything that you read and for god's sake, think for yourselves.

NYT and WaPo- People it is time to get busy. We MUST not let them ruin our chances for health care reform. We must not allow them to get away with this farce. Let's band together and get this done.

I knew the reporting(in general) was terribly skewed when they started talking about dumb stuff like "death panels". The ignorance of the american public about how legislation comes about is troubling to me. There is no one bill to be voted on at the moment so the scare tactics used by lobbing groups and the media that owns them has been very troubling.

Yes. Once again the media is participating in the news instead of covering it. Headlines, pictures (because the low information voter and the borderline illiterate right wing Fox addicts do better with picture books) and strategic adjectives. They're getting very good at it. They're a paper I now rarely consult.

This is all really obvious to all but the oblivious. But thanks to the Republican party they've been dumbed down so badly that it's amazing they can spell their own names.
