“Non-partisan” group was paid $1 million to produce positive Obamacare stories. Geez, that works out to about $500k per story, we reckon.

  • To coin a phrase, what a fucking joke. Nothing like watching taxpayers money used to polish a turd, and guess what, it's still a turd.

  • The entire world is phony now. PR companies hired by corporate interests write "news" stories and put them on the wire; newsreaders gleefully regurgitate them word for word. They usually start with the line "A new study shows that [fill in the blank] is actually GOOD for you!"

    The books you read are not written by the author whose name is on the cover.

    That voice coming out of the pop singer's mouth isn't really her voice.

    It's a truly worthless culture.

  • So this is different from their usual scams where they pay a Chairman O campaign doner to make up BS and sell it in propaganda spots as real? Just an honest effort to find comrades who benefit from ACA? Oh sure. Totally on the level...NOT

  • Give me a million, I can produce positive stories.

    "People are positive that they will lose their plans, doctors, houses, and all their money if they get Obamacare."

  • There is no such thing as "non-partisan" anything supporting ANYTHING Obama does. It's not possible, since politics is life to the leftist, it's why they exist. Conservatives don't give a damn about politics until they have to. That is an advantage for leftist progressive types.
