Why do these media institutions so brazenly mislead america on everything?? You have to figure the govt is paying them a fortune to do so.
Currently ABC NBC PBS NPR nytimes latimes AP have run nothing on Gruber. InvestmentWatch

Just imagine the reaction of the liberal media if a video had surfaced of a George W. Bush administration official admitting that “lack of transparency” was “a huge political advantage” in selling the
Iraq war and that they relied on the “stupidity of the American voter” to launch an attack on Iraq? That video would be everywhere.
However, the clip of ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber using those exact phrases in talking about the passage of the Affordable Care Act has yet to be reported on ABC or NBC’s evening or morning shows. The sum total of Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) network coverage was a 2 minute, 50 second
segment on Thursday’s CBS
This Morning – six days after the tape was first discovered. On the
print side the
Washington Post offered a front page story on Gruber on Thursday. But the Gruber comment has yet to show up in the pages of
The New York Times,
USA Today, the
Los Angeles Times or even the Associated Press.
You drank the piss. I saw a story about Gruber on ABC News last week.
It took nine days, but ABC and NBC finally covered the controversial videos of ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber making disparaging remarks about the American voters.
Since the first video surfaced, CBS had been the only “big three” (ABC, CBS, and NBC) network to cover the Gruber video, but on Sunday, November 16 ABC’s
This Week with George Stephanopoulos and NBC’s
Meet the Press briefly mentioned the videos. However, as of this writing, ABC and NBC’s morning and evening newscasts have yet to mention the Gruber controversy once.
During an interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell,
Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd appeared almost apologetic at having to ask his guest about the Gruber videos:
I got to ask you about these comments from Jonathan Gruber. He’s of course, a lot of opponents of the Affordable Care Act have been pointing to these comments all week long. He's an MIT professor. He helped write the health care law both in Massachusetts.
An adviser to the healthcare law and people that wrote it back when the Obama administration was working on it. I understand you didn't necessarily work with him very closely.
Todd did eventually concede that Gruber’s “playing into every fear that many conservatives had about this bill. That it’s not transparent, that there are things in it that people don't know. This certainly can't help a credibility gap” but for some reason felt the need to qualify his questioning by helping to distance Ms. Burwell from any connection to Gruber.

Ezekiel Emanuel
Ezekiel Emanuel, architect of Obamacare and brother of former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, appeared on
Morning Joe to promote
an article he wrote in The Atlantic where he explained why 75 is the ideal age to die.
Obamacare Architect Ezekiel Emanuel 75 An Ideal Age To Die Video RealClearPolitics
Wagner seemed a little stunned. “Well, I guess I gotta play devil’s advocate for a second here, Zeke,” she said,
“because to be honest, it does seem, sort of, transparently political that they would do this ahead of the midterm elections when we know the White House is very concerned about Democrats holding on to their Senate seats.”
She also expressed concern over Americans who would be stuck with substandard plans because of the delay.
“I agree with you, Alex,” Emanuel claimed. “I don’t like these substandard plans, I’ve been a very big critic of them. I was a critic of the initial delay. I’m not advocating this delay. I think it’s understandable, and I also think it doesn’t go to the heart of the Affordable Care Act and making sure it really impacts the American healthcare system. But you know, I agree.”

Why I Hope to Die at 75 - The Atlantic
Many people, especially those sympathetic to the American immortal, will recoil and reject my view. They will think of every exception, as if these prove that the central theory is wrong. Like my friends, they will think me crazy, posturing—or worse. They might condemn me as being against the elderly.
Again, let me be clear: I am not saying that those who want to live as long as possible are unethical or wrong. I am certainly not scorning or dismissing people who want to live on despite their physical and mental limitations. I’m not even trying to convince anyone I’m right. Indeed, I often advise people in this age group on how to get the best medical care available in the United States for their ailments. That is their choice, and I want to support them.
And I am not advocating 75 as the official statistic of a complete, good life in order to save resources, ration health care, or address public-policy issues arising from the increases in life expectancy. What I am trying to do is delineate my views for a good life and make my friends and others think about how they want to live as they grow older.
This was from the architect of Obamacare and brother of former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel,
Point was refuting earlier false statement.
I thought Gruber was the 'architect' of Obamacare? You turds need to make up your tiny little parrot minds.
You DO know that the 'substandard plans' he is talking about are the garbage, faux insurance rip off plans private insurance cartels have been selling to citizens?
I haven't seen a single news report that is older than ten days ago thet claimed Gruber to be the architect of anything
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
In 2009–10 Gruber served as a
technical consultant to the Obama Administration and worked with both the administration and Congress to help craft the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often referred to as the ACA or "Obamacare".
[5] The act was signed into law in March 2010, and Gruber has been described as an "architect", "writer", and "consultant" of the legislation. He was widely interviewed and quoted during the roll-out of the legislation.

Jonathan Gruber economist - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
They all wanted
Jonathan Gruber, a numbers wizard at
M.I.T., to help them figure out how to fix their health care systems, just as he had helped Mitt Romney overhaul health insurance when he was the Massachusetts governor.
Then came the call in 2008 from President-elect Obama’s transition team, the one that officially turned this stay-at-home economics professor into Mr. Mandate.
Mr. Gruber has spent decades modeling the intricacies of the health care ecosystem, which involves making predictions about how new laws will play out based on past experience and economic theory. It is his research that convinced the Obama administration that
health care reform could not work without requiring everyone to buy insurance.
