Pressure: NBC News Deletes Obamacare Story, Stealth Edits, Breaks Drudge Link
Posted: October 29, 2013 Filed under: Breaking News, Mediasphere, White House | Tags: BEN SHAPIRO, Drudge Report, NBC, NBCNEWS, Obama administration, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Twitter 1 CommentBEN SHAPIRO reports: On Monday, NBC News reported that President Obama’s administration knew for three years that Americans would lose their current insurance under Obamacare. The story quickly became the lead at the Drudge Report, making it the hottest political story on the Internet immediately.
For several hours, there was no problem. Then, late at night, the story was pulled, the link was changed thereby breaking the Drudge link, and stealth edits were made to the piece. In particular, one key paragraph met the cutting room floor…
None of this should come as a shock to the Obama administration. The law states that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010 will be “grandfathered,” meaning consumers can keep those policies even though they don’t meet requirements of the new health care law. But the Department of Health and Human Services then wrote regulations that narrowed that provision, by saying that if any part of a policy was significantly changed since that date — the deductible, co-pay, or benefits, for example — the policy would not be grandfathered.
NBC News then tweeted that it had reposted the link:
UPDATE: The paragraph removed from the story suddenly reappeared some half an hour after re-posting.
