Fox Pushed Healthcare Jail-Time Falsehood

Contradicting O’Reilly, Cavuto acknowledges Fox pushed health care jail-time falsehood.

SUMMARY: Neil Cavuto admitted that Fox News has pushed the false claim that under the health care reform legislation individuals can be sent to jail for not having health insurance, saying: “I’ve researched this and a number of Fox personalities had made that comment.” Cavuto’s acknowledgment contradicts Bill O’Reilly’s false claim that “[n]obody” on Fox advanced the assertion.

Cavuto: “I’ve researched this, and a number of Fox personalities had made that comment.” On the April 14 edition of Your World, Cavuto responded to Sen. Tom Coburn’s (R-OK) prior statement during a town hall meeting that contrary to a constituent’s claim, the idea that individuals could be put in jail for not having health insurance under the recently-passed health care legislation “makes for good TV news on Fox but that isn’t the intention.” Cavuto admitted to Coburn regarding the jail-time falsehood: “You’re quite right, I’ve researched this and a number of Fox personalities had made that comment.”

Indeed, Fox has relentlessly pushed the jail-time falsehood. As Cavuto noted, several Fox News personalities made the claim. These personalities include GlennBeck, Dick Morris, Sean Hannity, Andrew Napolitano, and Greta Van Susteren, as well as Fox News’ website Fox Nation and a Fox & Friends on-screen caption.

Coburn Questions Accuracy of Fox News

Story by Matt Lasio, CNC News

After a woman in the audience railed against the possibility of being put in prison for not obtaining health insurance under the Democrat’s new law, Coburn dismissed her remark and questioned the accuracy of Fox News reports on health care reform.

“The intention is not to put any one in jail. That makes for good TV news on Fox but that isn’t the intention,” Coburn responded.

Then, the Republican senator, who was an arch-foe of the Obama health care bill, defended the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi against character attacks.

While discussing his policy disagreements with Pelosi Coburn said “she’s a nice lady,” which brought hisses and hoots from the crowd. But Coburn flatly rejected the crowd’s animosity towards the liberal speaker.

KEEPING UP WITH FOX NEWS…

Fox News Revs Up The Spin Machine To Attack Pelosi And Defend Town Hall Disrupters

Reported by Priscilla – Mon 2:10 PM

Nancy Pelosi, in an op-ed in USA Today, expressed her concern about protesters who are trying disrupt and stop meaningful discourse about health care reform. She made the legitimate point that “drowning out opposing views is un-American.” Not surprisingly, Fox News immediately got their spin machine running at full speed to twist Pelosi’s comment and defend those who are trying to “townhall” congressional representatives at town hall meetings by disrupting the messenger because they don’t like the message. Yup, the same folks who aren’t fans of Code Pink (who are way less rowdy than this crew) and students who protested Bush administration officials are defending those who use the same tactics. We’ve truly gone through the looking glass into an Orwellian bizarro world where black is white and we all love town halling teabaggers who are now being seen as victims of that evil, librul Nancy Pelosi. And un-American? Read on to see the rich irony!!

McCAIN TO RAISE TAXES?

(a summary)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain‘s signal that he may be open to a higher payroll tax for Social Security, despite previous vows not to raise taxes of any kind, is drawing sharp rebukes from conservatives.

McCain’s shift has come in stages, catching some Republicans by surprise. Speaking with reporters on his campaign bus on July 9, he cited a need to shore up Social Security. “I cannot tell you what I would do, except to put everything on the table,” he said.

He went a step farther Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” in response to a question about payroll tax increases.

“There is nothing that’s off the table. I have my positions, and I’ll articulate them. But nothing’s off the table,” McCain said. “I don’t want tax increases. But that doesn’t mean that anything is off the table.”

That comment drew a strong response from the Club for Growth, a Washington anti-tax group. McCain’s comments, the group said in a letter to the Arizona senator, are “shocking because you have been adamant in your opposition to raising taxes under any circumstances.”

During a town-hall meeting in Sparks, Nev., McCain insisted anew Tuesday that he would not raise taxes if elected.

He frequently has promised not to raise taxes.
