GOP ignores weeks of open debate, own actions in accusing Democrats of legislating "behind closed doors" | Media Matters for America - http://mediamatters.org/researc...
"Right-wing media have repeatedly advanced the claim that Democratic lawmakers have shown a lack of transparency while crafting legislation on health care reform, often claiming that the legislation is being decided "behind closed doors." But these assertions ignore both the weeks of open debate in committees both in the House and Senate, and examples of Republican lawmakers forgoing transparency while in the majority."

Yeah, right wing media is not comprised of the brightest bulbs in the tree ... it's more the semi-broken ones that occassionally flicker.

Right wing media has gotten Bush re-elected, and managed to get tax cuts for the rich while keeping their base whipped up about social issues. They've succeeded in watering down healthcare reform, and managed to confuse enough people into thinking that Medicare is not run by the government. I don't think they're dumb. They're doing everything right.
