So in summation to your post I believe your view can be expressed like this:

No government run health care it's bad.

Keep health care private, if your rich and can afford insurance then get all the treatment you need.

If your too poor to afford insurance, please do the rest of us a favor, climb into a dumpster before you die.

Gotcha! I think I completely understand your opposition to health care in this country.

A president makes a speech on prime time tv and so to republicans it's obviously a coup and an obvious takeover.



Since this was the only sentence you wrote that was on topic, I will ignore the rest of your rant....

This isn't about a "prime time" speech. LEARN TO READ. They will be broadcasting all day from the white house pushing the President's Healthcare plan. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PRESS IS FOR! They SHOULD not be a mouthpiece for the administration to push their ideas and beliefs on the public. They should be presenting the President's plan and then presenting other view points. The fact the you don't get it, speaks volumes about you.

This is different from Fox news how?

Please, enlighten me how Fox news is not a mouthpiece (as you put it) for the Republican party.

As I have said before and you obviously haven't gotten to yet. The media is very slanted. There are right wing stations that are just as much in the pockets of the republican party as there are in liberal media.

The issue is government programming of a major network with no rebuttal allowed. His healthcare plan might be wonderful, but why not let the citizens hear the opposing point-of-view?

This isnt about right or left.

It is about a snake oil saleman (thats right SALESMAN) taking over an entire television network to use as a platform to sell his propaganda pitch to the gullible sheep of this country.

It may as well be an infomercial featuring Tony Robbins, only instead of selling some get rich quick scheme he will be selling us our own demise into socialism.

And in order for anyone to buy into what he is selling they must already be willing to be SOLD.

First, I don't watch FOX News...But, show me one instance when fox news set up their news desks and broadcast all day from the white house to push a president's plan with hand picked "citizens" to sit in on a town hall meeting and basically give the president a whole day of free airtime to present an issue to the American people? No, Can't do it. That's because it hasn't happened. This isn't the typical address to the American people that all the networks carry. This is one station being picked to present the Healthcare reform bill that Obama wants to pass. I am sure they will be neutral in the whole presentation. Do you hear that? Thats me laughing because you probably really do believe they will be neutral on the issue. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE NEUTRAL!!. Believe me, they won't be. Do you think Obama would give them this deal if their weren't strings attached? That's me laughing again. They have already denied the Republican's a chance to present their side of the debate. (p.s.- I am not a republican)

In summation to your post, you obviously think government can do a better job of running healthcare, or possibly everything.

Now do us all a big favor and name just one thing government does a good job of running. Just one thing ...

But you believe that magically healthcare would be the first and only thing government figures out how to do right.

With this ABC News show, you're also about to find out what a "good" job government (obama) does with running the news.

In every way. Fox News never broadcast from the White House as Bush's official mouthpiece like ABC is doing for obama. Fox also may have done positive reporting on Bush's policies, but they said or acted like they were in love with Bush as ABC, NBC CBS, CNN, NPR has for obama.

Figuring out the difference yet?

Please, enlighten me how Fox news is not a mouthpiece (as you put it) for the Republican party.

As I have said before and you obviously haven't gotten to yet. The media is very slanted. There are right wing stations that are just as much in the pockets of the republican party as there are in liberal media.


Oh, we heard you, just don't happen to agree. Fox News is ONE network compared to all those I listed above. If you want to throw in Rush's EIB radio "network", now we're up to 2 conservative media outlets - again compared to the many I mentioned above. Want me to throw in all the liberally slanted "newspapers" like the NY and LA Times and Washington Post?

Want me to also throw in all the other "entertainment" types like Oprah and the rest of Hollywood?

Come on, anyone completing grade school should be able to do the math on this ...
