Here is the kind of reporting Conservatives are up against.

Bob Cusack, Managing Editor for The Hill, writes a lead-in (and full article) with a picture of Congressionman Jim Wilson shouting "you lie" during Obama's September 9 Congressional speech in which he called out his opposition for the first time on national television and made a claim that health care will not be offered to illegal aliens.
Villains, liars and conspiracy theories marked the 2009-10 healthcare debate

Bob Cusack - 03/28/10 03:33 PM ET

The healthcare debate of 2009-2010 had everything a movie producer craves: conflict, twists and turns and of course, a climactic ending.…


If you "google" the issue, you will find article after article confirming that, "indeed," illegals will not be given access to the health care provided under the law. What no one seems to want to report is the fact that last summer, the Democrats rejected the Heller Amendment which would order verification of citizenship before participation in health care could be administered.

If Obama was telling the truth, why would his minions vote this amendment down? The fact of the matter is this: verification demands of citizenship are disallowed. In many states, driver's licenses are issued to illegals. More than that, while the Health Care law excludes illegals from health care proper, Medicaid administrators are not allowed to ask for citizenship verification. In this , we now understand why Obama and Comrades intend to place 17 million ( or so) indigent folk onto the Medicaid/Medicare rolls. Wilson was right - Obama lied.

But the point of this post is not the Wilson story and the lies Obama has been telling the public with regard to Illegal inclusion. It is the fact that men such as Bob Cusack, again, the Managing Editor of a paper as influential as The Hill, are given the power of the bully pulpit when they are no more qualified to participate in the political debate than the "next guy." Cusack has a B.A. degree in journalism (similar to a "sand box" degree) and is further "qualified" because he is a member of the Actor's Guild, does commercials, featured films and television show !!! Good grief !! Little wonder why he did not get his review of the past health care debate accurate. And, this is what conservatives have to deal with . . . . men and women with no more qualification for reporting the news than those who make the news.

While Cusack is palpable, idiots like Keith Olbermann are not. True to our M.O. for media personalities, Olbermann has a B.S. (how fitting) degree in communications and a failed attempt at managing the news department at MSNBC two years ago. He was promoted to that position after the death of Tim Russert's untimely death and forced to step down within a year of the promotion. His show on MSNBC runs across from Bill O'Reilly (who owns a B.A., a M.A, and a M.P.A. from Harvard) garners about 25% of O'Reilly's numbers. In the world of news journalism he is a failure BUT, there he is, every evening on MSNBC, the news channel that runs paid commercials each weekend.

NBC uses him as a "color" commentator on Sunday Night Football. He is a foul mouth slut for the Left and has nothing of importance to talk about. His claim to fame is his assault against FoxNews in general and O'Reilly in particular. Olbermann proves that hate and stupidity do not sell. --- jds.
