Fox news drops the ball?

Did fox news drop the ball on the idea of the donut hole?

Over the last few days, there have been sev­er­al inter­views, where Fox news per­son­al either were igno­rant of the facts sur­round­ing the new medicare rules con­cern­ing the so called donut hole or they just did not chal­lenge the idea that the donut hole has not actu­al­ly been elim­i­nat­ed.

The Donut hole is that space between where medicare ben­e­fits stop and the claimant has no cov­er­age.

This space for most elder­ly recip­i­ents, is a moun­tain, in the road, some­thing that can­not be over­come, because the amount of mon­ey involved, is over 4 thou­sand 500 dol­lars, most of the elder­ly can­not over­come even 500 dol­lars in costs per year, let along 4600 dol­lars in costs, for pre­scrip­tions, which is out of con­trol.

So when you watch on TV, and you see some one that is get­ting inter­viewed and they say well the donut hole has been elim­i­nat­ed and then the Fox news per­son does not ques­tion this, you have to won­der what are they think­ing.

Because the truth is that noth­ing has changed, the donut hole is still present in 2011 which means that thou­sands of peo­ple will once again have to find some way to strug­gle through the dis­abling costs of pre­scrip­tion med­ica­tions in the US.

For many this sit­u­a­tion will be a death sen­tence because they can­not con­tin­ue tak­ing med­ica­tions that would keep them alive.

This is Evil, folks, and when Fox news per­son­al just do not respond when some lib­er­al hack starts talk­ing about how the donut hole is now closed, we just have to ask what are they think­ing because they cant be this stu­pid or can they?

It is real­ly inter­est­ing, because there is real­ly only two expla­na­tions for this..

Either the Fox new per­son is not aware, of the actu­al health care law, and how it cur­rent­ly effects medicare patients or they choose to ignore, the fact that they are inter­view­ing some­one who has just made a state­ment that is not only not accu­rate but is in fact a bold faced lie.

This is dis­turb­ing.

Hope­ful­ly fox news can find a way to edu­cate its per­son­al so that they can ask the kinds of ques­tions that result in the truth over a lie.
