Is the main stream media now lying to The American People?

For about the last 2 years, FOX News has been warning The American People about the "dangers" of, and problems with The Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, (ObamaCare). Supporters have accused FOX News of lying.

Now, ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN are telling of the same dangers and problems. So the question becomes; Is the mainstream media now lying, or was FOX telling the truth all along?

This question is not about whether Obama has been and is lying. That answer is becoming more obvious every day.

    No the truth has become so obvious that even they can no longer ignore it to shield the administration.

    At least they can not do so and retain any semblance of credibility.

    Here is what Obama would have had to say to not be "lying", as you call it:

    ""If you like your plan, and your employer does not decide to change it as he has done before the ACA was ever passed, and your insurance company does not decide to change it as it had for decades before the ACA passed, and if your doctor does not decide to leave the plan or get dropped from the plan as he might have in years before the ACA was passed, you can keep your plan and your doctor. Sorry, but if you have a cheap individual plan and you want to keep something that you pay for and then won't cover anything when you get sick, you don't get to keep that plan."

    Now, did Fox provide you with that truth?

    The mainstream media is now lying. Conservative spin doctors have been pushing the "mainstream media is biased" lie to distract from their recent failures. Therefore, mainstream media is pushing conservative spin in order to prove to low information viewers that they really are unbiased.

    It's a trick conservatives have been using for decades and one that media outlets more concerned with ratings than honesty routinely fall for.

    I've caught them all lying at one time or another. to say one is better than the other is foolish, they are all owned by the globalist now and they all lie.

    Obama has obviously been lying and the left wing media defends him and his lies.

    Sibelius will take the blame and they will defend the liar in chief.
