Why are newspapers dying?

Because they’re lying.

Take The Hill newspaper as one example.

The Hill covers Congress.

Last Thursday, The Hill published a special section titled “The Healthcare Reform Debate.”

The 32-page section carried full page ads paid for by major American corporations and trade associations that would be adversely affected by a single payer plan — including AdvaMed, Premiere, The Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (Phrma),  Pfizer, Catholic Healthcare West, the American Clinical Laboratory Association, the Biotechnology Industry Organization, and UnitedHealth Group.

The special section carried eighteen articles.

From Democrats and Republicans.

Not one of which advocated for a single payer health care plan.

Even members of Congress who have signed onto HR 676, the single payer bill in the House, didn’t advocate for single payer in The Hill’s special section.

Take Jerrold Nader (D-New York).

He wrote an article for The Hill’s special section titled “Pursue the Next Best Thing to Single Payer.”

Earth to Jerry Nadler: The next best thing to single payer is going to fail. Sixty Americans will continue to die every day as a result.

Donna Edwards (D-Maryland) writes a piece titled “We Must Stand Behind President Obama’s Vision.”

Earth to Donna Edwards: President Obama’s vision — a public plan — is going to fail. Sixty Americans will continue to die every day as a result.

Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) writes a piece title “A Step Toward Fulfilling America’s Promise.”

Earth to Sheila Jackson Lee: A step-by-step approach won’t work. Sixty Americans will continue to die as a result of the step-by-step approach.

Howard Dean writes a piece titled “Reform without Public Insurance Option isn’t Real Change.”

Earth to Howard Dean: The public insurance option isn’t real change.  Sixty Americans will continue to die as a result of a public option.

The Democrat Party is a corrupt party.

Even it’s so called “progressive” wing has been neutered.

Time for a complete overhaul.

Say no to the public option.

Say no to the step-by-step approach.

Yes to single payer.
