Department of Big Surprises

We were shocked, shocked! to learn that Fux News' Washington Managing Editor ordered his subordinates to echo Rethuglican terminology regarding the health insurance reform legislation.

Specifically, the Fux editor/propagandist wanted his "reporters" to use the phrase "Government option" when discussing the "public" option, a direct copy of Rethug talking points circulated by Rethug pollster/operative Frank "Dunce" Luntz. Knowing that the "public" option had significant public support, the Rethug obfuscation machine decided to push the term "Government" option, so as to build resistance among their mouth-breathing teatard audience (who are all for freedom, except when it comes to freedom in health insurance choices, since they don't understand the meaning of the word "option").
