Obamacare Reporter Sees Media Shift on Obamacare Coverage

News reports about Obamacare took an odd turn as news outlets such as NBC, CBS, and CNN jumped on the failure of Healthcare.gov to deliver much more than error messages instead of health insurance.

Obamacare Reporter’s Jenn X, an out-of-work bartender, researches and posts news stories, videos, blogs, opinions and cartoons about Obamacare all day, every day.  She noticed that sources that have been consistently pro-Obamacare suddenly turned sour.

“NBC News reported on the website failures on Oct.17, and noted that the government contract to build the messed-up website started at $94 million but swelled to $292 million,” Jenn said.  “CBS News reported on Oct. 19 that Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli called the Obamacare debut a ‘national embarrassment,’ and CNN Politics said that the website was ‘unacceptable.'”

USA Today, Jenn said, ran a story describing the administration’s attempts to shore up the tarnished image of Healthcare.gov and Obamacare in general. “They’re saying that the website was built using ten-year old technology and may require a total overhaul.”  Yesterday, an editorial in USA Today called Obamacare’s opening act “a farce.”

Jenn said that all those and many other stories have been available on Obamacare Reporter since they appeared, and that she recently passed the 17,000 unique visitor milestone and is now busier than ever trying to keep up.
