Prurient Prose from the Pathetic Paper of Purcell

So, how did you like like that serious journalism in the Herald today:

“18,000 Jobs Lost to Health Care”

• 12 paragraphs on a Beacon Hill Institute study that was not linked to

• 3 paragraphs were direct quotes from the report or the institute’s director

• No quotes from non-partisan analysts

• No quotes from proponents of the health care law

• Two unintelligible sentences on the methodology

• No mention the fact that Mass insures 95% of its population while having unemployment rate 1.4% lower than the national average (7.6%)

• By the BHI’s logic, Texas should be killing it.  But their unemployment rate is 8.4% despite the fact that they only insure 75.4% of their population

You can call Purcell a lot of things, but a journalist is not one of them.

Please share widely!
