Please...
Please, what? A newspaper with several decades of history of journalistic integrity and a passel of Pulitzers under their belt is an unreliable source?

So what passes for journalistic integrity in your universe, dood?

Breibart, NewsMax, Blaze? Faux? You sure seem to have their talking points down pat.

When one is cemented ideologically then one just hopes for failure of any undertaken of the other side.

That is why I asked the question Don. This isn't the first time this guy has characterized the reporting of the Washington Post as suspect.

Sheesh, I get it if all my news came from Fox, the so called news organization that successfully sued in federal court to be able to blatantly lie to the consumers of the dreck they spew daily. Mebbe he reads The Washington Times?

D-Ray, suggest you change 13's title to "half ass" or "PC Taliban".

Naw...he provides contrast if not much more to the conversation 'round here.

I may owe him an apology, in re reading his response it appears he doesn't trust the White House to tell the truth or their sources for that matter.

The source is highlighted, can't you see that?

As far as I'm concerned this administration is not to be trusted in anything that they say. I'm not alone in this thinking so the source for these figures I would want to see is from the insurance companies.

I don't think any administration can be trusted. Politics in general are just too corrupt these days. Reagan did have one quote that I liked..."Trust, but verify".

Until you can provide something other than "I don't trust them" you really have no legitimate basis for your opinion regarding the current status of new healthcare enrollments. Nothing that you have shown on these pages suggests that you have more credibility than the Administration. Certainly, you are entitled to your opinion, but the readers here are also entitled to give it the credence it warrants.

Regards,

D-Ray

Correct my opinion is to be no more credible than anyone else without documentation.

Back to the credibility of the source. Even the WP gives the release of figures by the white house as skewed. So lets see what facts come out of this new release today.
