anti-islamic video and this was not a terrorist attack. everyone will come back and focusing on what the president said, 2013 lie of the year. the fact that he got three of the top six pinnochio awards from the washington post. so why would the new york times do something like this and bring the negative attention to a time when the president doesn t need it? well here is how the new york times described on wednesday after the white house again delayed the cancellation of so-called bare bones individual plans. the action reflects the difficulties mr. obama has faced in trying to build support for the affordable care act and the uproar over his promise which he later acknowledged had been overstated. that people who like their insurance plans can keep them no matter what. joining us to talk about it, judith miller, pulitzer prize-winning investigator reporter, author, fox news contributor and former employee of the new york times. is the new york times characterization
