Not only point out their lies but point out how just plain wrong they are. There are countless examples of their wrong predictions. If anything is going to change in the U.S. it’s critical that the credibility and ultimately the reputation of all these corporate media gasbags be destroyed.</p> Not a bad idea.

[Broder] is the only mainstream journalist bigwig that goes after the Sickness industry that’s stealing from the poor and giving to the rich.

He never seemed particularly insightful on healthcare economics, but then I don’t read him so all that often.

The guy I really like on healthcare matters is Paul Krugman.

He is the only mainstream journalist bigwig that goes after the Sickness industry that’s stealing from the poor and giving to the rich. AMA types might take offense but our 15 percent (growing to 20+ percent soon if change doesn’t happen) of the GNP health care industry is a huge weight on our economy and it’s poor statistics in supplying ‘health’ are well known. Only Broder seems to care about the health care industry’s high costs and poor performance while writing in the mainstream press. </p> <p>Not as effective as Kevin Phillips but at least he cares. (Kevin’s on to the financial industry which is even worse as it doesn’t produce much of anything and it’s getting close to the 20 percent of GNP for sucking the life outta every other industry..)</p> I am easy on this codger.
