For the last two months, Fox News has been reporting on how the Democratic members of the House and the Senate were able to pass "Obama Care" law (officially called The "AFFORDABLE" CARE Act even though there is nothing affordable about it) without a single vote from the Republican side. An M.I.T. economic professor named Jonathan Gruber who is said to be the architect of the law has been touting how he advised President Obama to lie to the American people about the health care law which would not have been passed if the people knew the truth.
Mr. Gruber said "the American voters are stupid." And he said it again and again in many of his speeches. As a matter fact I agree with professor Gruber, millions of Americans are just stupid because they are ill-informed, miss-informed or under-informed. And we can blame America's news reporting industry for that. After all, you are what you know. If you have the wrong information you will do the wrong thing. Here is an example how CBS evening news removes one word from a report and makes it only partially true:
The report on CIA interrogation was prepared solely by the Democrat members and Republicans had no part in it. So this report is purposely misleading to give cover for democrats. The ill-informed public would think that "Senate report"is a report prepared and approved by both Republicans and Democrats. I have been watching CBS news since October 1st, 1973.
This is why many years ago I coined the phrase 'ON CBS I SEE BS!"
