4. And it's the reason for the media hysteria generated by those corporations and the Tea Party raving

About Death Panels, and the lies pushed about astronomical increases to Medicare, etc. This won't get mainstream coverage, they blocked getting the facts in the bill out all along. That was done to make progressives to lose heart and it worked.

Because the media is controlled by the corporations and even the 'left' websites spin the same tale. The information is consistently skewed against the Democratic POTUS. In the end, it will be Medicare for all, just as we wanted it to be.

I wonder if the rightwingers will apply this lesson to the other things that they've been lied to about, like Obama coming for their guns and kids, forcing vaccinations, Sharia law, FEMA camps for conservatives and all the other lies they've been told.

We need to put the word out about this and other things to combat their media machine. Because they won't stop lying and we can't give in.
