"When I was at CNBC, I pointed out to my viewers that the math of ObamaCare simply didn't work, not the politics, by the way, just the basic math," Francis said.
"And when I did that, I was silenced. I said on the air that you couldn't add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their preexisting conditions without raising the price on everyone else."
"I pointed out that it couldn't possibly be true that if you like your plan, you can keep it," Francis said. "That was a lie. And in fact, millions of people had their insurance canceled."
"As a result of what I said at CNBC, I was called into management where I was told that I was 'disrespecting the office of the president' by telling what turned out to be the absolute truth."

I'm wondering if there is more to this? Does CNBC have a position they want to defend? "F U Mr President" could be considered disrespectful, but what she said certainly was not.

Hell no, I wasn't wondering, it was kind of obvious ever since he popped up on the radar in 2004.

were you wondering if most of the media was really in the bag for Obama?
Wondering? No, I wasn't, actually.

Evidently my sarcasm isn't coming through loud and clear! :laugh:

IMO, the only difference between the media's reporting for Obama and Democrats in general is they seem to be more obvious and open about supporting Obama.

Newspapers are dying and ratings for the big networks drop year after year and part of this is that they have hitched their wagon to the left. And to this POSPOTUS.
They deserve what is happening to them.

...they seem to be more obvious and open about supporting Obama.
Because if they weren't, that would be racist.
