A disclaimer: I know and I like Howard Kurtz. But on Monday, Howard Kurtz of the Washington Postcomplained that journalists have been “left out” of the health care debate. He lamented that the “facts” about Democrat proposals aren\u2019t getting through to Americans– even though reporters haven\u2019t been “neutral” like they usually are.<\/p>\n

“For once,” says Kurtz, journalists actually made an effort to kill an opposing argument. As Kurtz put it: “They tried to perform last rites on the ludicrous claim about President Obama\u2019s death panels, telling Sarah Palin, in effect, you\u2019ve got to quit making things up.” But despite the efforts of the normally “neutral” mainstream journalists,the story just won\u2019t die. Kurtz complains: “Even when they report the facts,” journalists “have had trouble influencing public opinion.”<\/p>\n

Howard, can wedispense with the absurd notion that those of you in the State-Controlled Media are normally “neutral”? It doesn\u2019t play in Peoriaor anywhere else.<\/p>\n

As for the “death panels.” We all know there\u2019s a provision in the House bill for “end-of-life” counseling,and now we\u2019re learning that under Obama, the VA is pushing a “death book” on veteransthat was banned by Bush;it attempts to steer veterans in difficult circumstances to conclude that life just isn\u2019t worth living.<\/p>\n

When it comes to who to believe on the “death panels,” it\u2019s all about trust. People understand exactly what it means when smiling Democrats offer end-of-life “counseling” — they don\u2019t trust \u2019em! And for the record, they don\u2019t trust journalists who are trying to shape public opinion. Just report, for once! Please! <\/p>\n
