Is Broccoli Like Health Insurance?

180+ Fox News Bias videos at bit.ly When the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the constitutionality of the health care reform law that Congress passed in 2010 (sometimes called “Obamacare”), some pundits (Jeffrey Toobin, Megyn Kelly) and fake pundits (Stephen Colbert) were quick to make dire predictions about the law based just on the questions from the justices on issues like broccoli, but those predictions may be premature as Dahlia Lithwick, President Obama, and I show in this video. The clips I use of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelley come from a longer segment of Fox News’ March 27, 2012, broadcast of “America Live” which I have not found available online. The clip I use of Jeffrey Toobin comes from a longer segment of CNN’s March 27, 2012, broadcast of “CNN Newsroom” available online at bit.ly The clips I use of Stephen Colbert and Emily Bazelon come from longer segments of Comedy Central’s March 28, 2012, broadcast of “The Colbert Report” available online at bit.ly and at bit.ly The clips I use of Rachel Maddow and Dahlia Lithwick come from longer segments of MSNBC’s March 27, 2012, broadcast of “The Rachel Maddow Show” available online at on.msnbc.com and at on.msnbc.com The clips I use of President Barack Obama come from the public domain video of his April 2, 2012 talk at n Associated Press luncheon, available on YouTube at bit.ly The image I use of the US Supreme Court’s page for downloading audio of its March 27, 2012, oral arguments is available at bit.ly

A Facebook application logo is pictured on a mobile phone in this photo illustration taken in LavignySAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) – Facebook Inc is set to raise up to $ 18.4 billion in its IPO and become the first U.S. company to be worth more than $ 100 billion at its debut, as investors bet on a big pop in the stock when it begins trading on the Nasdaq on Friday. Frenzied demand, especially from individual investors hoping to buy into an Internet juggernaut that touches hundreds of millions of people every day, is expected to drive Facebook well above its initial public offering price of $ 38 a share, which was already at the top end of its target of $ 34 to $ 38. …

Saigon Execution
NBC News

1969 Pulitzer Prize, Spot News Photography, Edward Adams, Associated Press

Jan. 30. 1968. North Vietnamese communists launch their massive Tet offensive, bringing the fighting right into the U.S. Embassy compound in Saigon. Thirty-six hours later. Associated Press photographer Eddie Adams, working with an NBC News crew, comes upon two South Vietnamese soldiers escorting a prisoner through the streets of Saigon.

They walked him down to the street corner. We were taking pictures. He turned out to be a Viet Cong lieutenant. And out of nowhere came this guy who we didn’t know. I was about five feet away and he pulled out his pistol."

The man with the pistol is Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan, chief of South Vietnam’s national police. It all
happens very fast: The general raises his pistol. Adams raises his camera. Loan presses his pistol against the prisoner’s temple. He fires. Adams releases the shutter.

Loan "’shot him in the head and walked away." Adams remembers. "And walked by us and said, "They killed many of my men and many of our people."’ For Loan, the shooting is an act of justice: The Viet Cong lieutenant had just murdered a South Vietnamese colonel, his wife and their six children.

The American anti-war movement adopts the photograph as a symbol of the excesses of the war. But Adams feels his picture is misunderstood. "If you re this man. this general, and you just caught this guy after he killed some of your people…. How do you know you wouldn’t have pulled that trigger yourself? You have to put yourself in that situation—-It’s a war."
