>>That said, go back and look at what written by the right about the "death panels."

Yes. I was appalled. The ACA's authors correctly observed that not even the US can afford to pay for all available care for everybody. The idea was that society ought to be involved in the decision about what it will and won't fund, rather than expecting doctors or (worse) insurance bureaucrats to act as society's executioners. With which I agree 100%. This was turned into a specter of nameless bureaucrats denying care to kindly grandmas with a stroke of a vicious pen. This prospect predictably derailed the process though I was disappointed that no involved Democrat politician was brave enough to step up and rebut such a whopper. In hindsight, why was I surprised- politicians of both colors have been too cowardly to mention the Medicare deficit for years now, so why would they risk association with death panels?

>>Look at the utter nonsense that was written about, and the millions that were spent trying to find a crime in HRC's email server. You'd think that she was Benedict Arnold incarnate because of her choice of url.

By "choice of URL" do you mean an unauthorized email server in her home with classified information traversing it? ;-)

>>The problem is that all that nonsense has an effect.

Yes it does- until people decide it's all nonsense and stop paying attention. According to the most recent Harris poll, two thirds of US voters now associate the MSM with fake news. They're writing themselves out of political relevance IMHO.
