Frontline changes healthcare claim
CounterPunch reports on how PBS manipulated the claim of “Sick Around America”, a documentary made by former Washington Post reporter T.R. Reid, cutting out his conclusion about not letting insurance companies reap huge profits for covering basic healthcare needs. Instead, PBS manufactured the claim that everyone should be mandated to buy for-profit insurance, stating that it is what the rest of the world is doing, when the truth is far from it. That PBS is actively contributing to the media mum about single-payer healthcare decreases the stature of the public media company by just a little.
