Why I believe Matthew Yglesias is fighting so hard for LieberCare

[mcablue]

His boss at Thinkprogress is John Podesta, The DLC'er Obama's close ally who is a strong advocate of passing this bill as is. (He was co-chairman of the Obama-Biden Transition Project).

Rising journalists tend to not go against the opinions of their bosses. It would hurt their career.
Here's Podesta himself refuting Dean recently: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/12/16/podesta-passing-senate-bill/

Conflict of interest exists.

1. Maybe he thinks it's a good idea. Why must conspiracy surround

everything?

2. And Paul Krugman is clearly afraid to go against the New York Times

3. And why are you working so hard against it......?

knowing that so many people would be covered under it,
and that you have not really read the bill, so you really don't have much of a clue
of how it will work, except for the repetitive talking points
that you have held on to since you appeared here last month.
