CNN pins Debbie Wasserperson Shultz to the wall on her false Medicare claims

[Little-Acorn]

Amazing. Even the far-left news organizations like CNN, are starting to question the Obama fanatics, and not letting them get away with constantly changing the subject, making false statements, etc.

How bad does an extreme-left administration have to get, to lose the support of CNN?

Brutal: CNN Torches DWS on Medicare Falsehoods

Let me say this right up front: Congratulations to Wolf Blitzer for being a relentless, responsible journalist. If you value the truth, this interview is a pleasure to watch. If you have even an ounce of human compassion for the in-over-her-head target of Blitzer's inquisition, it's positively brutal:

Poor Debbie. She's totally out-gunned and has nowhere to hide. Her talking points are pitifully hollow and cannot withstand even basic questioning. She stubbornly rejects the (correct) premise that the Romney/Ryan Medicare reform plan exempts everyone over the age of 54, and plays fast and loose with numbers -- conflating 55 and 65 on several occasions. When she is brow-beaten into finally acknowledging -- if not admitting -- the truth around the 3:45 mark, she quickly realizes her "mistake" and reverts back into denialism.

When Blitzer asks her to specify exactly how current or soon-to-be seniors would be impacted by the GOP plan, she cannot.

Because they're not.

The Left is intellectually bankrupt on the very subject they claim will allow them to crush Mitt Romney in November. They despise the bipartisan solution Republicans have offered, but they have no alternative of their own.

Dear Democrats, Medicare is slated to go bankrupt in 2024. You say it's wrong for future seniors to be denied Medicare as it currently exists. Okay, what's your plan, guys?

We know that your actions have already cut Medicare by $700 Billion to pay for part of Obamacare. We also know that Obamacare establishes a government panel to ration care for the elderly. And yet the 2024 deadline is still coming. Again, what's your plan, Democrats? Mr. President? Anyone?

Demagoguery and falsehoods is all they know. I mean really. They aren't at all educated on the issues.

In the past, they have enjoyed a lapdog media that would just let them spew their lies, afraid to interrupt. (Scared they will be compared to meanies like O'Reilly.) They pretty much still have that with the alphabet media and PBS. So the damage here is minimal - I mean, who's really watching CNN anyway.

i'll commend CNN for FINALLY putting aside it's obvious Bias in favor of Obama to call out Wasserman-Schultz on her distortions and Lies.

They really need to do it more often....
