preceded and followed by the word snicker.
Example; John Doe, snicker "journalist" snicker, asked Senator so and so ............... with no follow up question as to the veracity of his or her answer.

The media has no time or responsibility for "research" or calling out lies, that costs money and would require real journalists and would waste valuable airtime pushing the propaganda demanded by corporate masters.

Remember, it is not propaganda if you know it is propaganda....cable news's worst nightmare is too many folks recall that.

free and no research required:

" Ms Fiorina, you just said that ER rooms have experienced a 50% increase since ACA enacted. Could you please quote your source for that statistic?"

I would hope people would go to the emergency room if they are suffering from illness or injury. "Hey, I know you just fell off that ladder and cracked your skull on the concrete but don't go to the emergency room. Just walk it off."

Despite the fact that part of the justification for ACA is a reduction in costly ER visits - there is a complete and utter lack of concern for fellow human beings. This is the hugest elephant in the room and Dems don't call them out enough on it.

At one point, Tapper, asked her something like "You are a breast cancer survivor, don't you like the pre-existing provision so that those people less fortunate than you can get care as you did?" She is actually really good at diversion. She started by saying something like "Oh I supported that part....but now think the whole thing is bad." Of course, no follow-up from Tapper. Like: "Let me get this straight Ms Fiorina, you want to repeal ACA and whatever you replace it with will have no pre-existing provision?"
