RESTON, VA – In a bombshell report
for NBC News.com, NBC News senior investigative correspondent Lisa Myers found
buried in the 2010 Obamacare regulations language predicting, “A reasonable
range for the percentage of individual policies that would terminate is forty percent
to sixty-seven percent.” Myers’ reporting shows that Barack Obama knowingly
lied to the American people for more than three years when he regularly
insisted that those who like their current health insurance would be able to
keep it under Obamacare.
Yet, according
to an analysis from the Media Research Center [1], this massive, deliberate
breach of trust was worthy of only 21 seconds of coverage on NBC Nightly News, buried at the end of
the show’s fourth story, with no follow up on Today. ABC and CBS completely censored Lisa Myers’ discovery with
not one single second of coverage on either their morning or evening programs.
Media Research Center President Brent
Bozell reacts:
“Barack Obama lied to the American people – repeatedly and with a straight face – every time he insisted that those who like their current healthcare could keep it under Obamacare. And he’ll keep lying to the American people because the liberal media refuse to hold him accountable.
“NBC News, whose own reporter found the language in Obamacare proving Obama knowingly lied to the people for over three years, gave this bombshell revelation a pathetic 21 seconds of coverage on Nightly News. There was no follow-up on Today. In other words, NBC News buried their own reporter to protect Obama.
“This sends a clear message to the American
people. As far as the liberal broadcast networks are concerned, when Barack
Obama lies, it’s not news. What would Richard Nixon have given for a press
corps this corrupt?”
