And now, right on cue, the media spins.

CBS led this morning's news with the ACA ruling and declared that it was a big win for Romney who has raised over 4 million dollars since yesterday and mobilized the GOP base. Then they showed clips of Romney, Sarah Palin and someone else who were all aligned in their talking point that ACA is going to tax the hell out of Americans. According to Palin, 1 trillion dollars in taxes!

There was, of course, no counterbalance to the lies.

Then Eric Cantor was interviewed as a guest to talk about the house vote to repeal the law in two weeks. And of course, there was no counterbalance to the lies.

I can't even watch the news (on any channel) anymore.
