Can this piece be considered to be 'real' journalism? It merely reviews what was an interview by Matthews. In terms of Matthews' role as a journalist it is very good although more often than not he is more an editorialist, opinionator, rather than a true joutnalist. However, this interview demonstrates either the true ignorance of those opposed to meaningful healthcare reform (this porposal is not!) or the depths to which opponents wil go in telling lies to distort the truth. Our government and these people who favor 45,000 deaths annually among Americans with or without iinsurance are causing more damage domestically than any foreign terrorist ever dreamt of accomplishing. They also show support for the criminal enterprise known as the health insurance industry.
