The conservative movement seems to be deathly afraid of everything and everyone. Or maybe they are simply afraid of those urban myths that ricochet inside their Chicken-Little heads. If the sky was actually falling every time conservatives made some shrill claim about existential threats or improving public policy we should all be dead by now, Fox News advances falsehood that health bill will "bankrupt" country
On Fox News' America's Newsroom, anchor Patti Ann Browne allowed Citizens Against Government Waste's David Williams to falsely claim that the Senate health care bill is "going to bankrupt this country in a matter of years." Browne at no point noted that the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] reported that the Senate's health reform bill will reduce federal deficits by $130 billion through 2019.Its a kind of nationwide joke. Fox and conservatives keep accusing everyone and their mother of being a communist, but its Fox and conservative rumor mongers are the ones that act like the old Soviet Pravda.
