YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

As Senate Republicans draft their repeal of Obamacare behind closed doors, we speak to The Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel about secret bills, singlepayer healthcare and the media’s coverage. Her latest article is titled "On Trump, the Media’s Malpractice Continues." In it, she critiques what she calls the mainstream media’s "prevailing focus

on palace intrigue and White House scandals," which comes at the expense of substantive policy coverage. Vanden Heuvel points to the Republican healthcare bill, drafted entirely in secret, as a prime example of important issues that have been overlooked.
