I noticed the MSM literally swiveled on a dime and went with the full court propaganda about the ACA website for weeks stretching into months.

It was though the government shutdown and debt ceiling showdown never happened.

This is just more of the same propaganda.

IMO a progressive SuperPAC needs to run ads showing the MSM's predictions for 2012 and how wrong they were.
