Did FRONTLINE slant the ‘Sick Around America‘ documentary?

On this issue, we would gladly welcome Think Progress back to reality if they would embrace it? But instead you link to articles that do the same as PBS did:

On the left, Physicians for a National Health Care Program boasts 16,000 members. Although single-payer remains a minority preference among doctors, attitudes have clearly shifted. The April 2009 Journal of General Internal Medicine includes an article by Dan McCormick and colleagues that documents this shift. In a nationally representative 2007 survey, only 9 percent of physicians preferred the current employer-based financing system. Forty-nine percent favored either tax incentives or penalties to encourage the purchase of medical insurance, and 42 percent preferred a government-run, taxpayer-financed single-payer national health insurance program.

You know darned well that the number of Doctors that support a single payer system is 59%, yet you chose to link to an article based on outdated stats.

“On the left” remarks are clearly becoming the joke of the Blogosphere and the real world discussions you are refusing to acknowledge. What you are really saying is that 59% of Doctors and around 65% of Americans that support Single Payer options like Medicare are leftists/liberals/communists – and what it means to everyone reading this garbled juice box message is that Think Progress are now all corporatists trying to control the media discussion to avoid reporting the facts.

If you wish to remain relevant in the healthcare discussions you must actually be relevant to reality.

Between mark to fantasy accounting and off balance sheet items, financial statements could mean nothing.
