No scandal is too small to help keep repealing the ACA out of the news. Bergdalh and every scandal should be covered in full, but not to the extent of dropping repeal altogether.
If you watched the coverage in the past few weeks you will have noticed that stories about repealing the ACA have all but disappeared from print and television. That’s not because the other stories are so important there is no time left over for the ACA. It’s because every story, large and small, is deliberately blanketing the news to protect the Affordable Care Act. Specifically, give Democrats who voted for it some cover from now until November.
Nobody can convince me that television cannot drop some of crap they talk about and give the ACA that time. There is no story more important than repealing the ACA. Bergdalh, Snowden, the VA, Benghazi, the IRS, and even impeaching that piece of garbage in the White House will fade away in time, but the Affordable Care Act will punish generations of Americans far into the future if it is not repealed. By the time November rolls around the public will have forgotten about the importance of only voting for candidates that promise to repeal the ACA.
I believe that the Administration is so determined to keep the ACA out of the news they are creating scandals the media can run with. The Administration picks scandal that will make a lot of noise and go nowhere. Oppressive EPA regulations is one such story, illegal immigration is another. Conservatives know what Eric Cantor is, but how many Americans know where he stands on repealing the ACA?
The Administration blowing the borders wide open should be covered while stories about Senator Feinstein’s indignation over not being notified about releasing murders from Gitmo under the 30 day law does not rate an honorable mention on talk shows. The media knows that nothing will come of the 30 day rule. See this thread:
Running clips of Senator Di Fi Douche Bag expressing her indignation makes her look good. There are many other crap stories that could be dropped to make room for stories that inform the public about the progress of repealing the ACA.
At the very least the media can tell us which candidates in the midterms are making repeal their number one campaign issue. I’d rather hear that information than know about murders committed in foreign countries. In fact, an overwhelming majority of Americans do not give a fiddler’s F for anything that happens in a foreign country if it is not a credible threat to this country. Damn few events in foreign countries meet that criterion because few countries pose a military threat.
