On MSNBC earlier this week, Andrea Mitchell accidentally revealed the reason she and her mainstream media mates refuse to hold the president accountable on Obamacare inequity: no single-payer plan.
Irked by guest Rep. Sean Duffy’s (R-WI) ridicule of the “pathetic” media, Mitchell came to mainstream media’s defense:
Duffy: One issue we have is the media won't ask the question about why are you treating families differently than big business? You need Jon Stewart on Comedy Central to ask Secretary Sebelius, “Hey, why won't you treat these two equally?” And she won't answer it. That's how pathetic news reporting has become when they won't ask tough questions to the administration.
Mitchell: We've asked questions of both sides. That's not fair.
Duffy: Do you ask that question, Andrea? Ask the question ... I haven’t seen anyone ask it on MSNBC. ... Why do you want your own healthcare, and you won't join us in Obamacare?
Mitchell’s reply is fascinating, as it reveals just how fundamentally skewed the media bias is on healthcare.
Mitchell: The response Kathleen Sebelius gave to Jon Stewart: If we got what we wanted, a single-payer plan, this wouldn't be the problem.
According to Mitchell (supposedly channeling Sebelius), the source of Obamacare's inequity issues is that “we” did not get what “we wanted”: a single-payer system. As Breitbart’s Brian Cates points out in his reaction piece,
Mitchell is claiming the media's bias in not pressing Democrats on this incredibly hypocritical ObamaCare exemption for themselves is *justified* because Republicans kept Democrats from having the wonderful single payer plan they originally had their hearts set upon.
It is hard to see how we could get a more blatant admission from a supposedly 'neutral' and 'objective' news reporter that many in the mainstream media are biased mouthpieces for the DNC.
