CNN "lowballing" Medicare cost increase
Read any real article about the massive increase in the projected cost of the Medicare overhaul...$1.2 TRILLION is the figure most reality-based news outlets are reporting. But not CNN. I don't watch Faux or much of MSNBC, but I'd guess they're sticking to the same White House script, and reporting the new figure to be "only" $720 billion, still 300 BILLION dollars more than Bush revealed when he was lying to the American people and having his Congressional thugs threaten and bribe other members into passing his Pharmaceutical Industry Payback bill.

"Liberal" news? Funny, this same "liberal" news media lying about the $1.2 trillion has also not uttered one freaking word about Jeff Gannon and Talon News. Hmm. Wussup wit dat?
