Whether it’s a CNN anchor bucking the trend on awful Obamacare coverage, an Atlanta anchorwoman explaining how diversity is a core American value, or the President of the United States having enough of one network’s phony scandals, there was a lot to see this week.

A new report this week indicated that Obamacare would give millions Americans enough flexibility to choose to work less. Many news outlets bought into conservative spin and distorted this important development, but one CNN anchor pushed back, correctly noting that the report was all about choice: http://mm4a.org/1lAX5es Related: On the other hand, the Associated Press White House Correspondent disregarded the facts of what the report actually said while discussing it on Fox News: http://mm4a.org/1iqB11e
Diversity Makes America Great
Some conservatives whined at a Super Bowl commercial featuring a multi-lingual version of ‘America the Beautiful.’ Georgia anchorwoman Brenda Wood took those people to task. Watch for yourself: http://mm4a.org/1fLoLrc Related: Bill O’Reilly’s interview of President Obama before the Super Bowl was dedicated to pushing Fox’s phony scandals. Even Obama had enough of it: http://mm4a.org/1blczg2
Fox Freaks Out At CVS
Multiple Fox News hosts are outraged over CVS’ decision to stop selling tobacco products in their stores, as they pivot towards providing health care. Gretchen Carlson even asked if it was legally permissible for a store to choose to stop selling cigarettes: http://mm4a.org/Mu2rIz Related: Conservative gun advocates are in an uproar after 20/20 demonstrated how accidents can easily occur when guns are within the reach of children. http://mm4a.org/LQzXZk
FEATURED VIDEO
Conservatives are having issues correctly pronouncing the name of President Obama’s nominee for the DOJ Civil Rights Division. We give them a hand: http://youtu.be/xddS5YETB3Y
SERIOUSLY?
Does Laura Ingraham, a leading anti-immigrant voice, know that Puerto Ricans are American citizens? Her baseless attacks on Justice Sonia Sotomayor raise doubts: http://mm4a.org/1ikKnuS
WAR ON WOMEN
Fox News’ idea for a debate on whether Disney should create a plus-size princess centered around the notion that such a princess might encourage obesity. Seriously: http://mm4a.org/1iv1lYe
