Shh! Networks Don't Want to Talk About Obamacare Waivers for Wealthy Pelosi Liberals
Newsbusters ^ | 5/19/11 | Scott Whitlock

According to the three major networks, the granting of numerous waivers to Barack Obama's health care law, including 38 in April alone to wealthy, entertainment businesses in Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district, isn't of much interest. ABC and CBS have completely ignored waivers, while NBC only included a general mention from a Republican senator. As the Daily Caller's Matthew Boyle reported, 1300 waivers have been granted and while that information is online, "it has not made public which companies and other entities have been denied waivers and why they were denied." 20 percent went to Pelosi's district.

I'll keep it low toned but the botox babe does want to continue the promotion of politicizing health care for the gain of politicians and their agenda's ahead of the needs of the sickly who require treatment.

Politicians don't take the Hippocratic oath.

IF you want to find out the money trail here, you need to find the health benefits agent and brokers and administrators of these establishments.

No doubt there is money flowing to political campaigns and PACs, the question is how many steps removed from the agents, and how long have the relationships existed.

The MSM shows media bias not only with how the news is covered, but in deciding which stories are covered, and which are ignored.

By ignoring this story, the MSM is exercising editorial judgemnt just as surely as they do when giving favorable coverage to Obama.

The corruption within and without this government defies all rational description. A tidal wave of soap suds rushing through DC wouldn’t begin to cleanse the filth that we have allowed to permeate or government. God save the Republic. I believe that He is the only one who can.

The networks must be talking about it, because my mother-in-law was talking about it last night with me... she claims... and I kid you not... that those waivers are Bush's fault.

She was upset at the implication that Pelosi would ever do anything wrong. But... she was mainly mad about the big news about the governor of Michigan declaring "marshal law" on the people of Michigan.

Obama could kill Michelle Obama in the White House and it would not make the evening news.

It might make the news, but it would become Bush's fault.

Precisely. Since when does the Blood Libel media *ever* want to report anything bad about their Chosen One and their Chosen Party? Or anything good about the Republicans?

Barack Obama’s health care law was obviously written for punishment and reward.

Photo of a genetics lab experiment gone horribly wrong! Scientists at UCLA crossbred a Norwegian Wharf Rat with Nancy Pelosi during one of her booze saturated trips to the West Coast while still Speaker. This is the hideous result. I’ve posted this to several web sites and almost immediately received hate mail from a number of Norwegian Wharf Rats claiming they would never have anything to do with such a vile and despicable creature, especially when she was drunk and at her verbally abusive worst. Several remarked that “…there are some things even WE won’t do.” Several have threatened legal action if I fail to apologize and take down the image. However, I feel it my patriotic duty to warn citizens that there may be other such experiments planned. One in the works is believed to involve Harry Reid and a Cobra if Pelosi promises to hold its head.

you’re right, this cowardly GOP have no guts to call the MSM out let alone investigate them.

I see many networks have not even ran with Pelosi’s district has got 20% of the waivers.
Disgusting and now the MSM will do damage control for his 1967 comments

And they had to pass the bill for us to SEE what’s in it??? Is it only me or do other people get the feeling that since Jan. 2009 with the installation of Chicago on the Potomac that there is a sense of a hightened amount of corrpution being blatantly undertaken by our politicos?

Looking back in history this era may be remembered for the fleecing of American taxpayers by our political elite.
