Continued use of "Obamacare" clearly DEMONSTRATES a Fox News' bias.

[skip fox]

The only people who consciously use the term (and Fox is very conscious in its use, so much so that I'd wager a memo to that effect came down) are those against Health Care reform

So when Beck says that the news department at Fox has no "point of view" or bias, one look no further than their usage of this terms which cannot be excused as "more accurate" (an excuse they have used in the past.

1. Someday when access to health care for everyone is traced back to THIS beginning...

...the label "Obamacare" will ring with historical significance not unlike "Social Security."

5. I agree. That is why even though I know the RW intends it as a pejorative, I don't think of it that

way.

2. Imagine if we called the Afghanistan War "Bush's quagmire"...

It's the same thing.

3. I don't mind it referred to as Obamacare.

When I hear it I just smile and say, that's right, he's the one who was able to do it.

4. Me too! I want him to own it. It was over 100 years before someone could start this process.

Let it always be known as Obamacare.

12. It'd be smart to co-opt the name and use it to our benefit. The GOP suddenly has a strength turned

into a weakness, and we create chaos in tea-bagger minds when positive associations are now made with ObamaCare.

6. I wasn't commenting on its eventual connotations (which I agree might

bite the Republicans where it hurts), only that now it's used as a pejoritive and those who claim to be unbiased, show how deeply biased they actually are by consciously using this term. So much so, in fact, that's it's eerie.

7. EVERYTHING on Fox demonstrates a Fox News bias...

This is only one of about a million different issues.

10. But its really an obvious one and one which you can trip them up on.

Imagine if a Democrat on O'Reilly asked, "Why do you call it Obamacare? . . . That sounds clearly partisan." What couls O'Reilly answer but some apparently lame excuse like "Well, that's what it is." or "That's what everyone is clling it."

Thus a teachable (for the audience) moment if the Democrat shows how only detractors of health care call it that . . . which is not "fair and balanced" by any stretch. (And the News department calls it this as well).

[Thrill]

8. Fox sets the agenda and narrative for what the other networks do

Its really sad.

11. So why do you watch?
