I wish the media would stop the misinformation about The Affordable Care Act! [View all]

I get so frustrated when I watch some of these morning talk shows. I'm watching Morning Joe, and within a 2 minute period I heard how much the polling is showing that the American people is against "Obamacare" at least 3 types. I just did a simple Google search on that topic and the very first article I find is from the LA Times. According to the Times:

The September Pew Research poll shows that 53% disapprove of Obamacare, while 42% approve. What Republicans are not saying is that, according to a May CNN poll, more than a quarter of those disapproving are opposed because the law does not go far enough.

The Pew poll also reports that about half of the 53% who disapprove of the law (27% overall) want Congress to make it work. So in fact, a minority of Americans want the law repealed entirely. Furthermore, Obamacare's unpopularity can be explained largely by the unrelenting GOP campaign of misinformation.
