Where is Gruber coverage?
Jonathan Gruber is an Affordable Care Act consultant to the Obama administration. He is one of the key architects of Obamacare. The video of Gruber that recently surfaced of him explaining the deceit and planned lack of transparency used to pass Obamacare into law is telling. Gruber’s reference to the American public as “stupid” is telling.
Why does The Spokesman-Review not consider this information newsworthy? I have seen no coverage of this very important discovery in The Spokesman and can only wonder why. We “stupid” Americans are slowly learning how the Obama administration functions. This was apparent in the elections held last week. Liberals are still in denial, and it doesn’t appear as though they will learn a thing from the drubbing they took last week.
Deceit and biased reporting in support of a political cause can only last so long. It cannot be sustained indefinitely. We Americans may be trusting, stupid and easily manipulated, but only for a time. The truth of the matter is that Americans at large are honest, trustworthy and patient.
Any political party and/or news organization that believes they can leverage that virtue as stupidity should think twice.
