No Bias...Right?

Once again, the Media demonstrates their own bias. On the top of the hour news on my local AM station, it was reported that Reuters News headline stated, US Judge Refuses to Halt New Health Care Law. Now the obvious impression you get from this head line and the first paragraph is that Vinson is not really stopping Obama Care in his recent decision. Yet if you read the actual article, it states,

But U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ordered the administration to seek an expedited appellate review within the next week of his Jan. 31 ruling that favored arguments by 26 states that the law's requirement that Americans buy health insurance starting in 2014 or pay a penalty was unconstitutional.

So in other words, Judge Vinson was forcing the Administration to follow his declaration. But as I argued before, the story goes on to admit that President Obama is in fact a lawless President when it states,

The Obama administration has said previously it would appeal the ruling and continue implementing the law...


So there you have it. President Obama was just going to continue as if Judge Vinson didn't exist. But later in the day, the headlines changed, once again, demonstrating their bias. See Reuters here.

US Judge May Escalate Battle Over Health Care Reform

Now this is insane. Judge Vinson is not escalating anything. We have a lawless President who is ignoring a Federal Judge's ruling. But when you read the first paragraph, you would think the ruling has not occurred yet.

A Florida judge could on Monday become the second U.S. judge to declare President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law unconstitutional, in the biggest legal challenge yet to federal authority to enact the law.

"Could on Monday"????? What in the world was the 78 page decision written a couple of weeks ago? As ABC News reported,

“It was not expected” he wrote, “that they would effectively ignore the order and declaratory judgment for two and one-half weeks, continue to implement the Act, and only then file a belated motion to “clarify.”

Not expected my rear end. Judge Vinson knew full well what Obama would do because he has already done it. Vinson however is (I believe) being very kind to President Obama. As the old saying goes, "Give a man enough rope, and he'll hang himself on it."
