doing their subtle thing you say doesn't exist??
*********
The Washington Post’s Philip Bump wrote that Chaffetz’s comment “revives the ‘poverty is a choice’ argument." Meanwhile, Slate declared: “GOP’s most embarrassing Congressman strikes again” while Yahoo News went so far as to break down the exact cost of an iPhone, both for a Verizon contract and an AT&T contract, to compare the cost to health insurance.
Yet left unsaid was that Obama made similar comments in 2014. In a town hall meeting with Spanish-language outlets, Obama was asked about a man who had written in saying he still couldn’t afford insurance.
In a lengthy answer, Obama speculated about someone making $40,000-$50,000 a year, who thinks an insurance option that costs $300 a month is too much.
“I guess what I would say is if you looked at that person’s budget and you looked at their cable bill, their telephone … cell phone bill, other things that they’re spending on, it may turn out that they just haven’t prioritized health care because right now everybody is healthy," he said.
***
that would be a perfect example of how something needn't be a lie to represent an obvious eagerness to condemn, a slant, a bias, an inherent ideological viewpoint manifested in reaction, writing and thinking.
But keep believing i'm a caveman and simply stupid.
