Stop NBC from swiftboating universal health care.

[davsand]

Dunno if anyone here has already been talking about this or not. If so, I apologize.

If not, I ask you all to consider taking a bit of time to let NBC know how you feel on the subject. I am a member of Working Assets, and this originated with them. I don't feel I am any more eloquent than they are, so I am pasting what they prepared on the subject:

"Americans' lives depend on whether we pass the right kind of health care reform. So why is NBC News airing an infomercial that will spread dangerous misinformation?

Rick Scott is the Chairman of a group called Conservatives for Patients' Rights, and he has a history of disseminating lies and misinformation. According to the AP, Scott is "the former head of Columbia/HCA health care company who was ousted amid a fraud investigation that ultimately resulted in the firm pleading guilty to charges of overbilling." His "documentary" looks to be an extended version of videos he's been promoting over the last few weeks, which FactCheck.org characterized as "misleading" in part because they misrepresented the opinions of a doctor who actually favors the public option.

I just sent an e-mail to NBC News President Steve Capus asking him not to air Rick Scott's shameful propaganda. I hope you will too.

Please have a look and take action.

Thanks!"




This really could use some DU love, and anything you can do to keep this kicked or active would be a huge help.
