Ed Morrissey<\/a> at Hot Air<\/a> posted an article today about a recent chyron on MSNBC<\/a>. Just in case you are not a news junkie, the chyron is the group of words at the bottom on the screen that either gives the latest headlines or adds to the discussion taking place on the screen. In this case, the chyron read, “GOP flubs Obamacare launch.” Wow. I wasn’t even aware that the GOP were the ones who had launched ObamaCare<\/a>. The real GOP flub in the launch of ObamaCare was allowing it to go forward with a broken website and exemptions for Congress<\/a> and big business and not for average Americans<\/a>, but that wasn’t a flub–that was just the make-up of Congress.<\/p>\n

Mr. Morrissey<\/a> comments:<\/p>\n

Ironically, the entire segment demonstrates why the chyron would be inaccurate in any context \u2014 and why the tactical retreat<\/a> on the shutdown might turn out to be a strategic victory<\/a> for Republicans in the long run.\u00a0 Without the breathless minute-by-minute updates from Capitol Hill<\/a> on the shutdown, the biggest national story and shared experience is the disastrous ObamaCare rollout, which is so bad and so big that even MSNBC can\u2019t ignore it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay tuned. I’m sure there is more to come. I want to see if MSNBC and their cohorts can successfully convince the American public that the Republicans are actually responsible for the botched roll-out of ObamaCare. If they can, we are in more trouble than I thought.<\/p>\n
