Sunrise in Juneau the morning of 8/2010: This is Douglas Harbor, Alaska.

Juan Williams is great but FOX tells lies about Obamacare, the usual noise.
Host Chris Wallace cited statistics from a Kaiser Health News article that discussed the changes in insurance coverage, claiming the article showed people "losing health insurance, not gaining it." Panelist Brit Hume complained that people were being forced into coverage "for things they may feel they don't need" and that people are getting "a government-mandated deal." Wallace added that "there's no free lunch" and ridiculed the idea that consumers would get "more for less."
But Wallace neglected to cite the section of the article that noted that "the new policies will offer consumers better coverage, in some cases, for comparable cost -- especially after the inclusion of federal subsidies for those who qualify."
