Remember Dean Angstadt from earlier today? He's the self-employed lumberjack that almost died from a heart condition because he refused to sign up for Obamacare. It took his liberal friend months to talk him into it, and once insured, he was immediately able to get life-saving major surgery.
The original story was heavy on the feel-good stuff (the ACA saved his life!) and thin on his motivations. So the Washington Post's Erik Wemple followed up, and yes, it was really all about Fox News.
He says that he “leans” Republican and essentially listened to what the GOP had to say about Obamacare, and not so much to what the Democrats had to say. As for his media diet, Anstadt says he goes online for some of his news, but when it comes to television, “Fox News, of course, and that’s basically what I watch on TV,” in addition to local news, he says. “I like some of those radicals” on Fox News, he says. “I like O’Reilly.”
Asked if Fox News had molded his view of Obamacare, Angstadt responded, “Yeah, yeah — they get people fired up. You know what, I really do have a different outlook on it. It’s really wrong that people are making it into a political thing. To me, it is a life-and-death thing.”
And this is why Republicans are so dead-set against helping even their own people:
Of Obamacare’s namesake, Angstadt says, “I didn’t care for Obama. I can’t say nothing bad about him now because it was his plan that probably saved my life.”
Republicans would rather kill off their strongest supporters than have them think that maybe that fellow in the White House—and his Democratic Party—aren't so bad after all.
you know even zealous Fox concentrated on at some point see or hear the other side and it sounds nothing like what they are hearing from Fox, devoid of commonsense because of programing they cling to it like it was a gun or unread Bible, eer notice how the clinging thing the guns always are mentioned first?
remember earlier this tear the republicans se out to collect ObamaCres horror stories after falsely interviewing compensated liars that were rebuked, we head no more but now we are hearing the positives presented by those who oppose poetic or what?
they need to hear this over and over till it unrings that republican bell, G W Bush, "you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on" says it all this has been their plan since Nixon WH. the same one republican Issa said that this WH is as corrupt has, buzzzzzzz wrong again.
