1.  Watch the interview with Melissa Francis at the bottom of the excerpt.  What type of media bias does she say CNBC producers displayed?

2.  Ms. Francis made the following points in her interview:

• When I was at CNBC, I pointed out to my viewers that the math of ObamaCare simply didn't work, not the politics, by the way, just the basic math. And when I did that, I was silenced. I said on the air that you couldn't add millions of people to the system and force insurance companies to cover their preexisting conditions without raising the price on everyone else. I pointed out that it couldn't possibly be true that if you like your plan, you can keep it. That was a lie. And in fact, millions of people had their insurance canceled.
• As a result of what I said at CNBC, I was called into management where I was told that I was 'disrespecting the office of the president' by telling what turned out to be the absolute truth.
• The point of business journalism is to illuminate the economic facts.
• I think the American public deserves to know that the reason why Jonathan Gruber [an Obamacare consultant who referred to the "stupidity" of the American people] and others like him are able to get away with this is because there are networks out there and management at CNBC who are complicit in this cover-up and keeping people ignorant.
• You may decide that ObamaCare makes sense, but you need to do it based on the facts. You need to understand the real math, then decide.

What do you think about her assertion that CNBC producers did not want her to make the points she made about Obamacare?  What motive would she have to make this up?  What motive would CNBC have for saying she made it up?  Is there any way to check the validity of her statements?
