      Fox News is so bad they don't even read their own Research.
      You would think they would fall back on their own write-ups in a Lurch.
      But not Fox, All they care about is Steve Doocy's "Fox Smirk"
      I wish i could shove Fox's face in the Dirt.

      Speak truth to power.

      I want someone to say that Medicare costs are shooting sky high and that Insurance companies costs aren't for one reason.

      Medicare doesn't stop coverage on people and insurance companies do. Plain and simple.... why isn't that discussed.

      "So, we are told..." At least by opening with this statement, FOX maintains the appearance of truthfulness. Who told them? Why, executives from the insurance industry, of course. They should not have left -that- part out, just in the interest of full disclosure.

      Hey, FOX? If you want to report on the health reform bill, maybe you should actually read it yourselves! You know, as opposed to just believe whatever somebody else tells you it says.

      That's pretty fair and balanced. You get one person to say it's false, then another to say it's true.

      this video starts off with, "so were told". By who? Do you not do your won research and reporting? They get this crap from right wing talking points an then try to report this stuff as fact. Fox is not news. Fox is lies.

      Republicans are just "GREAT" with how they have cornered the discussions on HealthCare Reform and what it will do for Seniors, Small Businesses and those people with their job-paying HealthCare Insurance Plans. Just "brilliant" on how well the Republicans have cornered this discussion.

      Funny how quick Americans have fallen into believing "ALL" of the right-winged talking points, and "NEVER" willing to hear the Democrats. Eight years of Republicans got America "TWO" Wars, "COLLASPED" Banks, Homes, and Auto Industries, and "LOSS" of jobs (millions) and investments (trillions), etc. etc. and yet, Americans "ONLY" believe what Republicans say. These Republicans are pure "GENIOUSES"!!! LOL

        That's funny, the economy was growing and unemployment was low until 2007. Gee, what happened then?....hmmm.....Oh Yeah, Isn't that the year the Democrats took control of Congress? Funny how that works out.
