Wow.   This MSNBC segment ranks right up there in the hierarchy of all time propaganda visuals.    If you know anyone still clinging to the concept of liberalism not infecting the biased presentations of the media, just send them this clip:

The quoted part below starts at the :30 sec mark:

MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts –  Is there an intellectual dishonesty that’s happening here from Republicans who are not willing to admit that the shame should really be on private insurance companies who have been selling junk policies to these millions of Americans that don’t meet, now, the ACA’s federal standard of health care that people should have in this country?
That basically, there are millions of Americans that have been one disaster — that they can’t even comprehend — away from going into bankruptcy because of the fact that they have had a junk policy that has given them a falsity of safety?

The current meme for antagonism around Obamacare is to point out the falsehood behind the statement: “If you like your insurance plan/doctor, you can keep it“.

Anyone who has spent even a modicum of time following and researching this administration will note the only wording out of place was the first use of the term “you”.
The statement from President Obama would have been accurate if he had said:

..”If I like your insurance plan, you can keep it”

Where “I” is actually defined as the political ideology behind the phrase.  It is the progressive ideology which defines what you can, or cannot, have.  Period.
The entire premise of the ACA, or Obamacare, was government defining all the common denominators.
In essence they needed to create two impressions, one real and one false.
The false impression was the one they stated publicly.  This was the one to make sure the electorate voted as they needed.    The real impression is what they were doing, and what they actually did – in the architecture and construction of the new national healthcare.
It does not provide value to rise up against the false impression – it’s a snipe hunt.   The uprising needs to be focused on the real action that took place.    Actions speak louder than words, yet so many people fail to focus their pushback approach on the action;  instead they get stuck focusing on the words.

The egg donor who claimed to be Trayvon Martin’s mother tried to peddle her propaganda at a congressional hearing on Stand Your Ground type laws.
Sybrina Fulton, the woman who claims birthright to dead son Trayvon Martin,…. yet gave him away for ten years to her husbands wife, Alicia Stanley,…. who then upon return kicked him out of the house just before Christmas,…. yet found Jesus just in time to trademark his name,…. within two weeks of his death in a place she never visited until TV cameras were set up,…. came face to face with Ted Cruz yesterday:

Congressman Bill Pascrell (Democrat – New Jersey) Personifies his constituency.
Yes, if you live in Patterson, Bergen or Hudson County New Jersey  (NJ 9th) – this congressman represents you.   Nice huh?

Maybe his constituents have been calling in about their New Normal under Obamacare?

CONTEXT FIRST – Tomorrow HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is set to testify before congress.   For those of you who are unfamiliar with how congressional hearings work there is a rule of bi-partisan discovery where Dem’s must share information to be used during the hearing with Republicans, and vice-versa.
This is done so that no-one is caught off guard with anything that takes place in the hearings.   It’s somewhat of a ruse (under the excuse of professional courtesy) that few people know about.  Congressional hearings are investigative only to the extent the questions being asked are not known by the opposing party.  However, each knows what documents and evidence the other has walking in.
Why is that pertinent?   Simply because when you see the media do these pre-hearing exclusive/confidential document stories you know the source of the leaked intel is the party seeking to diminish the impact.  It’s just how they roll.    The Dem’s gave this CGI report to CNN so that CNN could write up a story and remove the *shock value* in advance of the hearing.
Washington (CNN) – The Obama administration was given stark warnings just one month before that the federal healthcare site was not ready to go live, according to a confidential report obtained by CNN.
The caution, from the main contractor CGI, warned of a number of open risks and issues for the HealthCare.gov web site even as company executives were testifying publicly that the project had achieved key milestones. (more…)

Yesterday NBC published an article outlining why the Obama Administration cannot feign ignorance as millions of Americans have their health insurance policies cancelled due to Obamacare.
What NBC stated is what hundreds of thousands of people already know – Obamacare is forcing millions of Americans to lose their insurance, pay much higher premiums, get higher deductibles, and in general get less coverage for more money.
The White House and Valerie Jarrett went into immediate attack mode to proclaim the premise as false.   They each claimed nothing President Obama or the HHS did created a situation where private insurance polices were/are cancelled.

FACT: Nothing in #Obamacare forces people out of their health plans. No change is required unless insurance companies change existing plans.

So NBC, carrying water for the administration, took down their article and replaced it with another one with a paragraph removed.    But various blogs, including us, caught them.   Backlash ensued.   They were busted – so they replaced the replacement and reinstated the original.
But the key aspect is inside the paragraph they removed and the *risk* to the White House which is evident within it.  Here’s what they took out, then put back in when caught: (more…)

Pinch me. Chris Matthews goes a little off the water-carrying range in this discussion around Benghazi? It actually appears that Chris Matthews is either a.) embarrassed by CBS’s Lara Logan, who actually did a direct 60 minutes segment, or, b.) struggling to reconcile that Hillary’s “at this point what difference does it make” comment is pure obfuscation not grounded in fact.

Could it be that Chris Matthews actually does recognize, albeit 13 months after the fact, that President Obama and Hillary Clinton chose to let Americans be slaughtered in Benghazi ?
Could the truth of this be comprehensible to Obama/Hillary defender Matthews?
Nah, me neither.
The White House will call him and yank his leash back shortly.

Whoopsie – Yesterday evening we shared an NBC Investigative article with an excerpt and link.  The article outlined how Obama knew all along millions of Americans would lose their health insurance coverage despite his election year claim “if you like your insurance you can keep it”.
However, just after midnight 10/29 NBC took down the original article and replaced it with THIS ONE creating a broken link.    If you compare the two you’ll note NBC took out the following paragraph:

…”None of this should come as a shock to the Obama administration. The law states that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010 will be “grandfathered,” meaning consumers can keep those policies even though they don’t meet requirements of the new health care law. But the Department of Health and Human Services then wrote regulations that narrowed that provision, by saying that if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date — the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example — the policy would not be grandfathered”….

NBC did *not* note their edit – they just deleted the original article and added another albeit modified one in it’s place.    You might wonder what took place between the original NBC post, and new, well, less confrontational one.
That is, you might wonder, until you note the date and time of the following tweet:

FACT: Nothing in #Obamacare forces people out of their health plans. No change is required unless insurance companies change existing plans.

Just Pravda doing what Pravda does best.   Supporting The Regime !
UPDATE: Weaselzippers picked up on the NBC ruse also.

UPDATE:  Just after midnight 10/29 NBC took down the original article noted below and replaced it with THIS ONE creating a broken link.    They took out the following paragraph:

…”None of this should come as a shock to the Obama administration. The law states that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010 will be “grandfathered,” meaning consumers can keep those policies even though they don’t meet requirements of the new health care law.

NBC did not note their edit – they just deleted the original article and added another in it’s place.    Typical considering what we anticipated below.
———————– original post below —————————————
The latest estimate is around 16,000,000 Americans will lose their current insurance. Each will have to pay significantly more for the Obamacare product, most with much higher deductibles. As Congressman Waxman admitted last week, this was part of the design all along.
Now NBC is reporting that President Obama knew this – AS he was saying it would not happen – Meaning, he intentionally lied.
However, as you read the NBC “exclusive”, ask yourself what’s the angle? Because NBC WOULD NEVER, NEVER, publish anything that would hurt this administration p.e.r.i.o.d. So what are they setting up?
(NBC Reports) President Obama repeatedly assured Americans that after the Affordable Care Act became law, people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it. But millions of Americans are getting or are about to get cancellation letters for their health insurance under Obamacare, say experts, and the Obama administration has known that for at least three years.
Four sources deeply involved in the Affordable Care Act tell NBC NEWS that 50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a “cancellation” letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high as 80 percent. And all say that many of those forced to buy pricier new policies will experience “sticker shock.” (more…)
