Dear Sir,

You should know who has been trying to
run this ball game:
http://www.actionlyme.org/ALDF_BOARD.htm

Mortimer Zuckerman, Anthony Walton, Kaiser-Permanente,
the AIG Greenbergs - basically, the Council on Foreign
Relations - and now, today, in the New York Times runs an
argument from the Israeli National Review on the dangers
of single payor health insurance.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/opinion/09ponnuru.html

Hilarious.

They're a danger to national security because they
blew the whole Plum Island Thang out of the water.

See the proofs on my website.

The winner of the Nobel Prize for discovering
the HIV virus is now following up on why the
Lyme and tuberculosis vaccines failed for the
same Pam3Cys-Immune-Suppression-Plum-Stupid-Island
reasons.

(Whoops)

> PBS Lashes Back over Single Payer Dustup
>
> by Russell Mokhiber
>
> Last week, I wrote an article - "Something is Rotten at PBS" - about a
> slanted PBS Frontline documentary - "Sick Around America."
>
> Frontline hired former Washington Post reporter T.R. Reid to put together
> the documentary.
>
> Reid did the reporting.
>
> He turned over his interviews to the Frontline producers.
>
> And they came back with a documentary Reid couldn't agree with.
>
> Frontline tried to get Reid to narrate the film anyway - whether he agreed
> with it or not.
>
> Reid refused.
>
> Reid and Frontline parted ways.
>
> After "Something is Rotten at PBS" ran last week, I got a ton of e-mail.
>
> So did Frontline.
>
> "Something is Rotten at PBS" struck a nerve.
>
> This week, Frontline lashed back.
>
> Frontline issued a statement yesterday attacking "Something is Rotten at
> PBS" - saying that the article "falsely characterizes both the reporting
> in ‘Sick Around America' and the disagreement between Frontline and T.R.
> Reid."
>
> Frontline defends "Sick Around America" as an objective piece of
> mainstream journalism.
>
> Frontline says that "Sick Around America," in fact, "made no assertions
> about the path health care reform should take, but simply reported on the
> current state of health insurance in the country, focusing primarily on
> how inadequacies in the current private health insurance system, both
> for-profit and non-profit companies, were negatively impacting many
> Americans."
>
> T.R. Reid, on the other hand, was an advocate with a point of view,
> Frontline said.
>
> "The dispute with Mr. Reid centered on a decision to include a section on
> the recent attempts by Massachusetts to reform its health care system,"
> Frontline said. "Mr. Reid objected to the inclusion of Massachusetts, the
> only state to require its citizens to purchase health insurance, and to
> require insurance companies to sell them policies with an adequate
> standard of coverage."
>
> "Reid repeatedly told Frontline that including Massachusetts in the
> program at all, was to advocate for that kind of reform as opposed to
> Reid's preference of a ‘Medicare for all,' one payer system for the
> entire country."
>
> "Frontline's position was that simply reporting on the state's plan was
> not advocacy and, in fact, our reporting would focus not only on the
> benefits, but also on the problems with the Massachusetts plan. We think
> any objective viewing of that sequence in ‘Sick Around America' will
> confirm Frontline's view that it was a piece of reporting not advocacy."
>
> Frontline noted that "on March 17, just three weeks after he asked to be
> removed from the film, a Denver magazine reported that T.R. Reid said he
> was interested it being appointed to a vacant seat in the Colorado House
> of Representatives, citing that his concerns about health care reform in
> the U.S. were ‘enough to push him from the reporting side over to the
> policy-making side. And he thinks Colorado would be a perfect testing
> ground.'"
>
> "Frontline's editorial guidelines explicitly state that ‘when working on
> any politically controversial programs the producer [or correspondent]
> should engage in no personal political activities...and should not lobby
> for or against any specific piece of legislation.'"
>
> "In the end, Frontline believes the dispute centered on a conflict between
> Frontline's journalistic commitment to fair and nuanced reporting and its
> aversion to policy advocacy and Mr. Reid's commitment to advocacy for
> specific health care policy reforms, for positions he apparently advocates
> in his forthcoming book."
>
> Wow!
>
> Reid is biased.
>
> And Frontline is an objective, neutral observer.
>
> I couldn't reach Reid to respond to Frontline's attack on him.
>
> But last week, he told me he didn't think single payer could pass in
> America.
>
> Instead, he favored giving Americans an option to buy into a public plan

>
> Reid has a point of view.
