Roberts: "and they [Republicans] make a big deal about something that distracts and frightens the voters like those so-called death panels - then the Democrats drop that and Republicans find something else to object to...."I'm enjoying many of the comments under NPR stories - a lot of listeners are dogging NPR for its lousy work. This story was no exception. I'd encourage all critics of NPR to post there, too.
Inskeep: "What about President Obama's core supporters, they've been pretty militant - I think that's a fair word - in saying that there must be a public option."
Of course NPR has failed to provide any meaningful coverage of what a public option would actually be and how it would work - and why it is not "militant" but the bare minimum to any meaningful reform of the health insurance system in the US.

The old "militant" left statement. NPR can never let left be but always praises the right. Cokie is always in their for those fine moments.
Does ANYONE remember when NPR hosted a weekly segment featuring Michael Harrington, president of the Social Democratic party Of America?
Yeah, really.
NEVAR HAPPUN NOW!
With that crypto-fascist zionist tool Robert Siegel running the newsroom...
Oooh, health care "militants"! Now that's some funny shit, 'Creep.
Michael 'The Other America' Harrington and his legacy are one of the many aspects of this country that NPR does everything they can to suppress - or at least not to acknowledge. There are people out there who, if they don't hear it through NPR, doubt the real existence of whatever it is you're trying to tell them. I think the NPR Effect is THAT thorough and that bad.
In other words, if they DIDN'T hear it on NPR, it's going to be a dubious notion.
Inskeep: "What about President Obama's core supporters, they've been pretty militant - I think that's a fair word - in saying that there must be a public option."
Can Inskeep report on ANYTHING without injecting his uninformed opinion?
I mean, really. This guy is supposed to be a "news anchor"?
What a joke.
Inskeep would also undoubtedly consider the 60 members of Congress who signed the letter to Sebelius demanding that the public option be included militants as well.
Inskeep is not unlike his boss, Vivian Schiller who is an Ivy Leaguer.
For some odd reason, privileged folk like Inskeep and Schiller begrudge anyone else having what they have always had (and taken for granted).
They are a couple of spoiled, disgusting brats.
