Wash Post Editorial Page Editor Warns PelosiCare Could Bankrupt U.S.

By Philip Klein on 11.9.09 @ 10:59AM

For all the criticism it receives from conservatives, the Washington Post should not be lumped together with the New York Times. While the Times is a consistent shill for the liberal policy agenda, the Post has actually consistently published editorials critical of the Obama administration's policies, especially on fiscal issues. Today, Post editorial page editor Fred Hiatt, in a piece that opens by celebrating the aims of the House health care bill, declares that the "bill also could take America a step closer to bankruptcy."

" a STEP closer to bankruptcy"? Where has he been? Even The Obama has been forced to admit we are out of money NOW.

Yes, and WaPo's timing is impecable.

After-the-fact journalism, yippee.

Their sentiments are aligned with Obama and Pelosi. Even if they do admit concerns, after the fact.

Fred Hiatt is a perfect illustration of a liberal:

A person who can simultaneously hold two directly opposing views on a subject, but believes in neither of them.

You're kidding right? You think this was a good editorial about fiscal restraint? Wow - have set the bar low.

This was nothing more of a spouting of Progressive Agenda ideals.

I respectfully DISAGREE! The Post, the Times, and every other newspaper in America essentially has conservative writers/stories; but the owners, management, editors are all liberals that favor Democratic Party socialism and Marxism. Connecting the dots would go from liberal university professors/teachers; to journalists/writers being educated [brainwashed] by same; to same bein hired/promoted by said newspapers and continuing the liberal chain of thought/ideas into the minds of daily readers of all newspapers. It was easy for the current group of liberal politicians running this country to gain the admiration and support of newspapers, since they all speak the shared language of LIBERALISM!!!!!
