It’s often been said that instead of being a reputable source for news, Fox News instead comes closer to emulating a televised version of The Onion, the well-known satire news source.

Fox more than lived up to that billing on Tuesday morning’s episode of Fox & Friends when the hosts of the program apparently cited a conservative satire news outlet as the basis for their bizarre choice of topic, lowering the collective IQ of their viewers even further.

It all started when Fox & Friends host Clayton Morris warned the audience that they would have to “say goodbye to your favorite sprinkled doughnut.”

Morris held up a plate of palatable doughnuts and said, “They’re getting rid of doughnuts like these. Doesn’t the FDA have more important things to do than regulate sprinkles?”

Fact is, there was no satire. Obama really did ban sprinkles.

Each American consumes a mere 1.3 grams of trans fats per day. That's roughly 0.6% of our total daily calories, and no research suggests that this poses a health risk. But that's not enough to dissuade the federal nannies from regulating even the most minute aspect of our daily lives.

The irony here is that trans fats were once pushed by liberal groups such as the Center for Science in the Public Interest. This poster child for the food police in 1988 published a book titled "Saturate Fat Attack" that condemned the use of saturated and polyunsaturated fats then in vogue. Food companies soon switched to trans fats, a move for which CSPI proudly took credit.

In its Nutrition Action Newsletter on March 1, 1988, CSPI not only downplayed health risks associated with trans fats but promoted them as a health benefit. It even cited a study that found a "significant positive correlation" between trans fats in animal fats and cancer rates.

The nanny state that tells us what cars we should drive, what energy we must use and what health insurance we must buy has told mothers what they can put in their children's school lunches and even whether they can take mom-made lunches to school at all.

Slurpees and now sprinkles are a health hazard, according to those who mysteriously know what's good for us.

I bet you were part of the herd who thought the ACA enrollment #'s really DID hit their minimum level of 7 million enrolled, when in fact, they were well off that number.

Funny. The truth wasn't " discovered " until like 6 months later.

It doesn't have to be your bill. All you need to do is find a http://kff.org/health-costs/ that supports your claim (and the Republican party's claims) that healthcare insurance costs increased because of the ACA. Or, maybe, your bill went up because you decreased your deductible? That would be your fault, not ACA. Or, maybe, you are now male after a sex change? Is that why your health insurance premium doubled? You shouldn't blame ACA for that, either.

According to the raptard, that means that the ACA is lowering health insurance rates.


More proof? My rates had gone up for years prior to the ACA, and then went down in its first full year. That proves conclusively that the ACA is saving Americans money.


It also proves that raptard is a complete dipshit.


Also, as usual, he can cite no sources.

Congrats. You're stealing from the rest of us who actually work for a living. You're welcome.

second - by doing nothing, my costs went up. Not 5-10$, as was the case over the past few years, but nearly double. And all because of the ACA.

And yet trolls here like EC simply want to vilify FOX and Breitbart, while giving our overlords in the Imperial Federal Govt a pass.

It was said all along that there would be winners and losers under Obamacare, and that rich people especially could expect their rates to go up.

It's not personal. It's just war.

Price them right according to who ? Obama ? Good lord, you might as well move to N.Korea, you're so gullible and wanting for a dear leader.

It's entirely the fault of the ACA, and your ignorance on this matter isn't going to change that.

The fact that you still suggest that the President is setting pricing shows how disingenuous you are or at the very least, ignorant of the topic. Perhaps you should look into it first instead of spewing negative talking points from Fox News.

You're just flat out factually wrong here. Putting the program in place is specifically what amounts to higher costs. Rates went up, despite the claims that the average family would get a drastic ( $ 2,500 ) reduction in HC benefits.

Well, of course, that's gotta be it. Obama is lying, so is every economic expert and spokesman in the country. Of course, that would mean that the doctors, administrators and insurance companies have nothing to do with it. Health care costs, before the ACA, were going down on their own, and millions of Americans would soon be able to afford going to the doctor.

Oh, one more thing, that would only be effective for working people and their kids. Those others, who freeload off of the working stiffs like you and me, they don't count for shit, the lazy bastards. They should get a job and pay their fare share, like the rest of us.

Let them use the ER.

A. If most people agree that the ACA is trouble, economically speaking, then that's true.

B. But, if most people agree that the ACA is beneficial, both economically and morally, then it's a lie.

Which one is it? A or B. Don't be shy, step right up and pick one (it's for charity).

By the way, Proof of Citizenship is required before you answer (no fake IDs please)
So let's see it, your proof, do you have it?
