AP caught lying about Oregon health care sign-ups

It's amazing the stuff the Associated Press says with a straight face and expects people to believe.

The AP ran a story yesterday about Oregon's implementation of Obamacare. The story said Oregon "has yet to enroll a single person in health insurance." That's right - zero.

I was skeptical of that because over 100,000 have signed up nationwide, and because I signed up immediately. What would make Oregon different from anywhere else?

Welp, lo and behold, this article last month from the Portland Business Journal - titled "Oregon Medicaid enrollment growing like gangbusters" - proves the AP is lying...

As of mid-October - which was weeks ago - 56,000 people in Oregon had signed up for the Medicaid portion of the Affordable Care Act. Not the zero the AP had claimed. And that 56,000 is just the Medicaid part, not the other Obamacare sign-ups.

Mao Zedong was once quoted as saying that if you want people to believe you, don't tell just a small lie - tell a real whopper. Apparently the AP believes that.

How much more evidence do we need that The Media is so singularly dedicated to gutting health care reform that they'll lie for the cause?
