Tucker Carlson Has No Shame Lying About Obamacare, Part Gobzillion
The next time you get ready to pull out a tiny violin for a Fox Newsie who whines about the unfair treatment Donald Trump gets from the so-called “liberal media,” you can also point to Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s disgraceful attempt to bully and humiliate Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the architect of Obamacare, while pretending to be a legitimate interviewer.
Carlson’s non-journalistic goal of disparaging Emanuel, rather than providing viewers with his knowledgable perspective couldn't have been clearer. The heck with the millions who got health insurance thanks to Obamacare and how the rate of uninsured has plummeted in the U.S. Carlson wasn’t interested in any of the data Emanuel tried to put forward, either, such as how Obamacare has lowered health insurance expenditures per employee.
In my own life, I am all too familiar with the problems and frustrations of Obamacare. But Republicans are obsessed with using it as a political football while the health and well-being of ordinary Americans is just collateral damage.
