We’ve noted how Newsmax likes to round up so-called “experts” to attack President Obama’s policies without bothering to explain the right-wing agenda of those “experts.” It does so in an April 22 article by David A. Patten citing a “growing chorus of experts” to claim that Obama’s plans to expand health care “kill hopes for a sustained economic recovery.”
And who are Patten’s “experts”? Representatives of the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and the American Enterprise Institute. At no point does Patten identify the right-wing and libertarian leanings of these think tanks, and Patten does not permit anyone from the Obama administration to respond to the criticism.
