My advice to him would stop thinking that the first thing he needs to do when he is pissed is to come here and post some rant about it. Because for some reason, he has a lot of sway here and there are people that seem to take his word as truth. So when he says, "People with pre-existing conditions cant's get treatment under the ACA," some people might believe him.
That is a problem for a truth-seeking journalist.
Like I said elsewhere, one of the reasons I rarely post here any longer (and I've been here since 2003) is because the pattern never ends.
1. Someone posts an angry rant based on either no facts or misunderstood facts.
2. An Amen Chorus Follows.
3. Someone points out the errors.
4. That person is shouted down.
5. This goes on for 300 posts.
6. The really interesting thread on, I dunno, resource management gets five posts and dies.
