In reply to the discussion: Tuesday's other big winner: Bernie Sanders [View all]JCanete
(5,272 posts)I don't say any criticism of Sanders plan is an attack. Factcheck wasn't attacking Sanders plan. It was just doing a weird ass thing of trying to shelter the intent of the study, even though its abstract ran with numbers that clearly said soemthing other than that intent. I'm not particularly interested in them trying really hard to let us know that "but they really didn't mean to say what they accidentally said..."
Tapper unfortunatley took that study and first, regurgitated it, citing the government spending without context of actual healthcare spending in this nation, and second, said a couple of times..."No...that's not true.....at least according to the author..." well is he a reporter or does he just ask for people to do his job for him?
But hey, if neither of us trust that the other person is going to engage in this discussion sincerely, I'm certainly goig to put a lot less effort into trying to explain to you my point of view. We can keep our conversations to snarky exchanges. I'm not going to go 4 posts deep with you any more, and I think we'll both be better off for it.
