Bias On Display

ABC Evening News promoted the Obama plan to finish the nation off by means of national health care last night. They suggested a false symmetry by interviewing one doctor who opposes the care rationing scheme, and another thirty-six year old female physician who is for Obama's great leap forward. They did not preface the two interviews by declaring the caveat that the young woman is among a small minority in the medical profession who would support this government intrusion into patient care, taking decisions away from caregivers and recipients and supplanting them with bureaucrats-bean counters deciding what surgery you are eligible for, what medicine you receive, and even whether you live or die. This Obama/Kennedy scheme is a grave danger to the least among us, those frail, incapacitated, or wholly dependent like Terri Schiavo will not pass the cost/benefit analysis of the newly created health system and their end-of-life will be hastened as a money saving measure. Unlike what the young female doctor said on ABC, the scheme is not going to be opposed because it will cost doctors a "small percentage" of their incomes, but because it will limit choice, deny treatment, and shorten lives. On another front in the propaganda war, PBS had Margaret Warner advance the big lie of Jews "ousting" Palestinians at the creation of Israel in 1948. It wasn't enough for her to let Arab Hisham Melhem talk and interrupt Israeli David Makovsky, Warner had to introduce the debate with this falsehood that leaves out that the Grand Mufti and the Arab leadership told the Arab population to leave, to get out of the way to facilitate the slaughter of the Jews so after their wholesale liquidation the displaced Arabs could simply come back to loot and claim the dead Jews' property. The rest of the segment was irrelevant after Warner revealed herself as an Israel basher with the lie in the introduction. The Arabs who did not heed the calls to leave and clear the field of battle for the massacre to eliminate the Jewish presence are Israeli citizens who enjoy full rights today. The rampant advocacy in the dinosaur media discredits it in the eyes of anyone with any historical knowledge or common sense.
