much reporting & GOP response to new CBO report on ACA is inaccurate/false, problem for Dems: If you're explainin', you're losin'
— @calmesnyt

Got that?

If Republicans lie about the report, and the media totally gets it wrong because
a) they bought the GOP spin or b) they're too stupid to read the report, then ...

it's the Dems' fault!

Thanks Jackie Calmes, White House reporter for the NY Times! Remind me again, why do you exist?

1. That's right, Jackie. So as a reporter for the NY Times, why aren't YOU

"explainin'", i.e., correcting the blatant falsehoods regurgitated by the GOP and their corporate-paid lackeys in front of willing mics and cameras? That's YOUR job, not the Democrats'.

4. Yes, Jackie, because if the media were to do the 'explainin' that would be, like, hard work.

5. Yep. I.O.W., reporters would finally have to do their jobs instead of reading off

GOP-faxed cheat-sheets.

Jackie once again reminds us why our once renowned Fourth Estate is dead and gone.

2. not what it says

If you do not think the way the report was reported is a problem, you are burying your head in the sand.

It is not a judgement. It is a fact.

3. The Mass Media TOTALLY had the CBO report wrong, it is now their fragile wounded pride that

makes them lash out at Democrats who are easily more likely to take it than the ever hostile and vicious Republicans, so it is a natural for them.
