Manufacturing the "Equivalency" on Medicare.
By relentlessly telling half-truths about their proposals for Medicare, and loudly accusing the Obama administration of cutting, cutting, cutting the benefits, the GOP has served up soft balls for the lazy, compromised CorpoMedia to hit.
Those ridiculous "Both Sides Do it" stories just hang in the air for sleepwalking mannequins on TV and in the OpEd pages. Go to you daily paper, wherever you are and see if there isn't at least ONE of those so called pieces of journalism.
People are laughing at them all around the country.
If you're covering the GOP and the terms "price support", "vouchers" or "coupons" do NOT appear . . everyone KNOWS you are not doing your job.
