Letter: Backtracking behavior uncovered

The Columbian

Here’s an example of left-leaning, biased liberal news coverage. Recently, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly’s show ran several past clips of Dr. Jonathan Gruber, who helped design Obamacare. (He received nearly $400,000 for his work). He stated that to pass Obamacare, they could not be transparent because they required the Congressional Budget Office to favorably issue cost estimates, stating several times the American voter is stupid and could not understand the law. When caught, Gruber stated he was just talking off the cuff.

A couple days later, more clips showed him laughing with the audience regarding the “stupidity” of American voters. They also laughed that they would blame the insurance companies for the rise in insurance premiums, bragging it would add 40 percent more for premiums.

President Barack Obama stated he knew nothing about Gruber. Gruber commented that he spoke to the president himself while visiting the White House. Secretary of State John Kerry has also applauded Gruber. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., stated she didn’t know who Gruber is, but was caught on tape touting Gruber’s accomplishments. Josh Earnest, White House press secretary, blamed the fiasco on the Republicans, as usual.

Where is the coverage?
