It has taken a brush with economic disaster for the traditional media to pushback at the GOP. The false equivalencies that Americans have endured have led to misinformed citizens and an emboldened Republican Party that continue to push the limits of sanity. They hate Obamacare so much that they are willing to bring the country down unless it is repealed.

MSNBC Thomas Roberts refused to allow Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to spin him. In the past, these politicians have been given full latitude to not answer questions as they use the interview as a platform to mislead. Roberts did not allow this.

This caught the GOP representative completely by surprised. She was stunned and left with silly statements of righteous indignation......

They can modify it in States by asking, "Do you hate ObamaCare more than your uninsured constituencies?"

As long as U.S. mass media don't shut down Republican b.s., they'll continue to propagate it.

And I surmise, that the only reason MSNBC host took Blackburn to the woodshed on this, is because the business community is terrified of another attempt to shut down the government.

Then again, there's still Rafael Cruz who'll just blame it on President Obama, and then all will be hunky-dory again.
