MSNBC's Now With Alex Wagner began its Wednesday program with the host discussing the media coverage of the President's "you can keep your insurance, period, lie."

Surprisingly the progressive Ms. Wagner described the coverage as even-handed. But guest Ryan Grim, Senior Congressional Correspondent for The Huffington Post, disagreed calling the media coverage of the people who lost their health plans because of Obamacare, "one of the most embarrassing experiences for the media in a long time."

Wagner:

The Huffington Post can sometimes focus intently on Republican failure. I think the news media has been actually fairly even handed in in the coverage of affordable care act. But has the media been too even handed as far as giving airtime to glitches and broken promises and not truly focusing on what the law is doing at large?

Grim:

I think it's been one of the most embarrassing experiences for the media in a long time. They kept dragging out these people and saying, you know, look at the devastation that was visited upon this woman in Florida or wherever because she's getting her policy canceled and now she's in all sorts of trouble.

But then if you look a little bit past it, oh, well, actually her insurer might have lied to her and she's actually eligible for comparable or better insurance at less cost. I mean, there's no question that some people, you know, had some plans that they liked that were cheap and were lousy and won't be able to afford some of the better plans. Those are some of the people that are subsidizing other people to get insurance. You know, nobody likes to be forced to subsidize other people. But that's the minority. The fact that the media has such a hard time of finding bad examples should give them some evidence -- do they?

Negating Grim's claims is the estimates of up to 15 million of those "woman in Florida" cases making it very easy for the media to "drag out those people." 

As to his claim that the majority of people will find cheaper plans, a recent report from the Manhattan Institute, analyzed insurance policies sold via Obamacare exchanges and found in the average state, Obamacare will increase people's premiums by 41%.
