Kristof Omits Left-Wing Affiliation of Insurance Company Insider: "There was bias by omission in Nicholas Kristof's Thursday column, 'Health Care Fit For Animals,' a profile of Wendell Potter, a former health insurance executive at CIGNA who has now joined the good guys fighting for universal health care, while excoriating his former colleagues.
But Kristof left out the fact that Potter is not just a former insurance company insider pottering around doing penance in the name of big government, but is working for the avowedly left-wing Center for Media and Democracy.
Opponents suggest that a “government takeover” of health care will be a milestone on the road to “socialized medicine,” and when he hears those terms, Wendell Potter cringes. He’s embarrassed that opponents are using a playbook that he helped devise."
