Why not Universal Healthcare?

GAO? Sounds kind of funny when you sound it out, doesn't it?

Just kidding.

Hey kid, I would say that the media, because of it's penchant for infotainment and kow-towing to their advertisers, have much more of a conservative bent these days than they did in say, the Nixon or Reagan years. This is largely why they are not reporting accurate information on the healthcare bill now, it angers all their advertisers, from Bayer, to Aetna to Pfizer.

There was a time when the media was affectionately referred to as the 4th branch of government, but that is not at all the case anymore.

Night-You are probably right the networks would sell their mothers into slavery and then report on it if they thought it would get them ratings.....

Interesting that you mentioned Nixon. I was listening to someone tick off some the acts/laws passed under Nixon and you would think he was a liberal. Amazing how times change... In many ways I do not think Lincoln would even recognize the party he helped create.
