The pivot from the shutdown to Healthcare is typical mainstream media.

But notice how long and how intense the media will focus on the healthcare.gov debate.

I will say it for as long as I live---the media is the biggest danger we Progressives face in trying to fashion a country that is fair and compassionate.

They are intensely focused on the mechanical malfunctions of a web site, you can't get less substantive than that. How do you even compare that to someone who has no coverage finally being able to obtain it? It's just sickening.

I guess they know that once the web site is fixed they will have to manufacture some new outrage, so they have to run with it while they can.
