Last week, the New York Times published a lengthy piece on how the White House declined to challenge a new book by ex-Times reporter Janny Scott that documents how Obama mischaracterized a central anecdote about his mothers deathbed dispute with her insurance company. But ABC, CBS and NBC have yet to mention Scotts now-undisputed account, that Obama’s mother’s compensation for her job in Jakarta had included health insurance, which covered most of the costs of her medical treatment. Once she was back in Hawaii, the hospital billed her insurance company directly, leaving Ann only to pay the deductible and any uncovered expenses, which, she said, came to several hundred dollars a month.
For having made a shocking revelation that deeply undermined one the most repeated stories of Obama’s 2008 campaign and 2009 health care debate, Janny Scott is staying extremely quiet. Scott’s new book, ‘A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother,’ proved false Obama’s claim that his mother was fighting with insurance companies from her death bed, one of Obama’s favorite lines to use when campaigning and appealing for the passage of Obamacare. It seems likely that Scott is not thrilled that conservatives have used her book as a way of exposing the liberal president.
Comedy Centrals The Daily Show with Jon Stewart mocks the right far more than it does the left, and a survey of the 16 broadcasts since the Chris Wallace-Jon Stewart run-in proves it. CMI found that Stewart went after Republicans and Fox News (which he labels conservative) almost four times as often as liberals and Democrats in just two weeks of shows.
