MSNBC's Monica Novotny: "Confusion in the health care debate: Should the WH blame town halls, the GOP, conservative media outlets, or itself?"

Notice what's missing from that list of possible culprits?  Yep: MSNBC and other media outlets.  Lousy health care reporting hasn't been limited to just conservative media outlets.
