From Saturday's A1 process article [emphasis added]:

The deal-making appears to be at odds with a commitment from the White House to strip out provisions designed to benefit a particular state or special interest. The legislation has become controversial not only in the ways it would alter U.S. health care, but also because of public concern about the machinery employed to push it through the legislative process.

Is the public really concerned about the process by which Democrats are trying to pass health care reform? Certainly Fox News and the GOP Noise Machine are obsessed with the process and portray the rather typical horse trading as being unprecedented and borderline criminal. But is the public, as the Journal reports, also deeply concerned?

Unfortunately, the Journal never backs up the GOP talking point. The Journal never points to any polling data or quotes any voters to substantiate the claim. Apparently, if Republicans insist the public is angry about process, then that's good enough for Murdoch's newsroom.

UPDATED: I had to chuckle at the photos the Journal ran with the print article. One is of Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), alongside Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI.), and the other is of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Yes, in an article about Democrats trying to pass health care reform, the Journal only ran photos of Republicans.
