And while it's pretty clear from their inaccuracies that they rely on FOX and Rush for their opinions, they also trust The Daily Press and Argus. Could it be that The Daily Press and Argus isn't even considered "main stream media", the pejorative used for media reporting that happens to be fact based?
Sunday's letter was from Tom Worley, a frequent contributor.
Mr. Worley denounces health care reform by worrying that this new-fangled reform will take away his Medicare for some damn fool government program.
Since the paper won't archive its articles (perhaps for good reason?), Worley's letter follows.

Changes in health insurance troubling
For the last several weeks, I have read everything I could to try to understand exactly what the president's health plan would do for myself and other seniors
As a salaried retiree from General Motors Co., I have been on the short end of the stick. I have lost my company-paid insurance on which I paid a co-pay. I have lost my long-term-care insurance, which I have paid for the last 40 years. I now pay for those prescriptions. I lost all my life insurance except $10,000. I feel I have truly earned those benefits.
Now, from what I have read, Medicare may be abolished and then I will be subjected to a government-run health-care system, which, at this point in my life, will have no interest in my return to sound health, but will encourage me to think about dying, not living. I have worked hard for these benefits and to see them snatched away in such a inconsiderate way. This angers me greatly.
Also, I do not hear of any of our lawmakers trying to pass the same type of bill that would make their health coverage the same as ours. The president has flip-flopped several times already on this issue. So where is the real truth?

The irony here is the headline of the letter that ran just above Worley's, by Bob Moriset, another Grouchy Old Paranoid
