1.In face of GOP criticism, Cruz pledges to continue fight against Obamacare
2.Obamacare's rocky start: What you need to know
3.Website mess gives fuel to Obamacare critics
4.White House cops to Obamacare tech glitches, but do they understand the problem?
5.Faint praise: Dizzy mom-to-be thanks Obama
6. Treasury secretary says Obama will keep trying to ease spending cuts

So, Cruz pledges to continue the fight...like it is a great fight...according to the headline editor. and his name is mentioned as the first person whose name is mentioned.
"Rocky start"...."Website mess" "Cops to Obamacare tech glitches"...Three stories critical of Obamacare, not one about 450, 000 that signed up. Cruz's name first, in a headline that seems to say ..but doesn't..."it is a gallant fight against Obamacare.". Proof positive that NBC News, is as bad if not worse than Fox. Why? Because many think it is not as bad as Fox .. It is worse. ..Cause the assumption is that they are not slanted, but they are. If it were fair, (it isn't) they would have one story, perhaps on the rollout, and maybe one story about Kentucky, where many signed up, and it was smooth... But no.. NBC News doesn't even do that crappy equalization that is always talked about. It is a clear attempt to show how bad things are, and set up some kind of good feelings for the GOP that is mentioned first in the list.. After all they lost a good battle and must be treated fairly.

(38,421 posts)One new story, rest the same, in the same order.. Cruz name near the top. So for 24 hours people have had the opportunity to see this as "Political News." NBC..24 hours same order, almost same stories, 3 of them screaming about Obama. I guess it is an attempt to take away some of the pure hatred that the Republicans mistakenly cultivated with their plan to close the government down. So NBC News is trying to help them out. I think a majority of it is owned by Comcast..as was said..."What else is news"
