As I slowly return

to my normal life, I see FOX hasn't changed at all, as they present the 'alternative view' to what is really happening, continually quoting the 'Wall Street Journal', (owned by Murdoch/Ailes, the same people who own FOX), as a source. Today's headlines make it seem like Obama personally wrote the software codes that are responsible for the glitches in the rollout of Obamacare. OF COURSE there are gonna be problems in something so large and complicated, but remember the original plan, offered by the Dems, was a 'single payer' system, like Soc Sec or Medicare, and the whole thing was made excessively complicated by Repub 'sausage making' that gave us the huge mess we now have. At least we are finally joining the rest of the world, with affordable health care, where needy people can't be denied coverage for 'preexisting conditions', (which could have literally killed my daughter) and we won't be one sickness or injury away from bankruptcy as the (sometimes) predatory health profession charges many times the world average for life saving medical procedures. AND, the FOX headlines are typically avoiding the economic disaster caused by the Tea Party led kamikaze mission of 'shutting down the govt' that never had any chance of succeeding, while inflicting major damage on the national economy and severely hurting the 'little people' who live paycheck to paycheck. FOX is currently back to dredging up 'old news' like Benghazi and IRS abuses rather than acknowledging their part in the latest political folly. The good news? It's gonna cost the Repub Party, BIG TIME, as I stick with my prediction that not only will they fail to win the Senate, but they will lose the House and the presidency as well, because anyone who wants to look at the facts can see who caused the latest  unnecessary disaster. Anyone wanna bet?

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?
