Nope, no bias here
Is this a news piece or a propaganda piece?
Update: It’s like there’s a well-orchestrated campaign or something?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

you mean there is supposed to be a difference?

Talk about propoganda, have you seen the AARP commercial running now which all but says that if you oppose Obamacare you’re a misinformed Nazi? An ambulance with lights on trying to navigate through traffic where all these “other vehicles” (representing those of us not believing in the farting unicorns) are trying to block its path.
Chalk up another organization I’ll never support. When the time comes, I’ll buy my Depends at Wal-mart, thank you.

Certainly, the so-called “media” should not report it if rumors and myths were influencing the health-care debate. Revealing such information would be biased because… because, well, we just don’t like it!

Never mind… sorry about the sarcasm there. Now that I think about it, it’s clear to me that revealing this information emboldens the enemy and jeopardizes national security. Duh.

Don’t be an idiot, smijer, it’s only partisan smear tactics when Rethuglicans do it.
Vast right-wing conspiracy!

Actually, it’d be biased because some of those ‘myths’ are actually debatable.

Well, reporting on a survey of this type, I guess a more fair and accurate headline would be “Some completely ridiculous myths, a couple of notions that probably are, but might not be myths, inform healthcare voters”. But I don’t think it’s necessarily “bias” that reduces that headline to a soundbite.

Fewer participants believe “myths” regarding the impact of proposed changes on current health insurance coverage. For instance, less than 30 percent think private insurance coverage will be eliminated. And just 36 percent think a public insurance option will put private insurance companies out of business.
Well, that’s interesting. They make it sound like most people don’t know that the public option will eventually be the only option, and then show that 2/3’s of people DO know that.

Didn’t someone read the bill, and it said it would eliminate private insurance on page 16?
