The New York Times is reporting that the Senate bill will result in much higher premiums. One example is a family of 4 earning $54,000 in 2016. They would be elligible for a $10,100 subsidy under the new system, but if they buy into the most popular federal plan then the monthly premiums would be […]
According to a new study just released, 80% of consumers would not be willing to pay for access to online content: A similar study was done by the Boston Consulting Group and found only 48% of the respondents would pay for online access to news, and the average monthly price they would be willing to […]
So says the New York Times. Cesca does a good job at tearing this trash piece by the NYT down: Every Republican in Congress defends Rush Limbaugh and parrots Glenn Beck, and all of the really important Republicans from Chuck Grassley to Big John Cornyn have at one time or another engaged in the “death […]
I love reading the right wing blogosphere attempt to spin all the new polls, especially the CBS/New York Times poll which has Obama up by 14%. Of course they would spin that – it’s the “liberal NYTimes”. Of course these are the same people who take Drudge’s polls on his site follow debates as gospel. […]

If the NYT’s reporting about Rick Davis is so wrong, then why is he running? John McCain campaign manager Rick Davis–under the spotlight because of his work for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac–is skipping a Wednesday lunch with reporters sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor. Do the innocent run, or do they try […]
If anyone is protected by the media, it certainly is John McCain. When the New York Times published their article a couple of weeks ago, the media circled the wagons around their hero. Instead they focused on dismissing the non-story in the article, McCain having an affair, which wasn’t actually implied. There was still a […]
Not only do we have McCain himself contradicting his defense, now we got another person involved doing so: Broadcaster Lowell “Bud” Paxson yesterday contradicted statements from Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign that the senator did not meet with Paxson or his lobbyist before sending two controversial letters to the Federal Communications Commission on Paxson’s behalf. […]
Oh my it looks like their big hope has some skeletons going on. The New York Times has the full story here. UPDATE The dirty stuff is on page 4: In interviews, the two former associates said they joined in a series of confrontations with Mr. McCain, warning him that he was risking his campaign […]
