Jaan Sidorov sits and watches ABC World News with Charles Gibson and is not impressed with a recent segment detailing how Americans are cutting back on their health care:

Even before this news segment aired, it was pretty clear that more Americans are confronting the rising costs of health care and are being forced to make tough decisions. Now more than ever, viewers need to know just how which Americans, to what degree and in what sectors of health care. Based on the half truths and framing of this faux analysis, millions of American citizens have made no progress in understanding what we’re up against.

With viewership declining, television news has to rely on sensation at the expense of accuracy to bring in the ratings.
