While it is gratifying to know that our suspicions were correct, it is sad for the country that we were right.
O’Keefe’s latest expose of Enroll America and the resignation of Chris Tarango, the group’s Texas communications director, also highlights a familiar problem for the mainstream media covering President Barack Obama and his administration.
After weeks, months or years of ignoring a scandal, how does the MSM explain that out-of-the-blue some liberal is resigning?
When Americans ask why someone just quit, the MSM has no choice but to explain it was over a scandal they never bothered to tell you about.
In the case of Tarango, the young man was way, way too open about his group’s commitment to Obama and his policies. It was not a surprise, conservatives suspected it all along. Enroll America’s board of directors is packed with not only friends ofObamaCare, but individuals from companies that will directly benefit from the president’s healthcarereforms: Teva Pharmaceuticals, Maryland Citizen’s Health Initiative, Families USA, National Association of Community Health Centers, Blue Shield of California, Kaiser Permanente, the American Hospital Association and, of course, sadly, the Catholic Health Association of the United States, led by pro-abortion advocate Sister Carol Keehan.
The non-partisan watchdog Cause of Action filed a July 29 complaint with the IRS about Enroll America that escaped the notice of the MSM.
At the time, the group’s executive director Daniel Epstein said it was absurd to grantEnroll America non-profit status, when it was obviously the marketing arm of profit-seeking entities.
