Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS after appearing on CNN International, was guest hosted on Tuesday by Paula Newton, last seen here in January fretting over the disturbing coincidence of Martin Luther King Jr. Day coinciding with the inauguration of Donald Trump. Tuesday she was talking to the architect of Obamacare to warn about the Trump Administration’s “drastic cuts” to the National Institute of Health, part of the cost-cutting Trump promised (advised by space entrepreneur Elon Musk) during his campaign.
After decades of the media lying about Republican budget “cuts” that were actually just slowdowns of projected increases, there are actual spending cuts on the table, and the press is in full fight mode. Newton didn’t hold back and neither did her sole guest for the segment, from the unlabeled liberal group Center for American Progress.
