Recently, former hospital CEO Rick Scott bought ads for his group "Conservatives for Patients' Rights" on CNN and FOX News networks. Scott's ad contains blatantly false statements and misleading excerpts of interviews with healthcare professionals.
Rick Scott threatens viewers by saying, "not only could a government board deny your choice in doctors, but it can control life and death for some patients." But the fact is, the stimulus bill states that the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research "will not recommend clinical guidelines for payment, coverage or treatment."
Furthermore, the advertisement continues to deceive viewers by blatantly misrepresenting the positions of two physicians. Both physicians are in fact supporters of universal healthcare!
Call on FOX news and CNN to adhere to their own 'truth-in-advertising' policies and pull these ads immediately.
We took action on “Tell FOX News: Stop the Smear Campaign Against Healthcare”!

Why confirm the people's belief that you are merely mouthpieces for the ruling oligarchy?

Why does FOX hate this country? Your advocacy, distortions and outright lies have been a major contributing force to the serious problems we are all facing now-and you continue to support those that brought it about in the first place. Your methods resemble Nazi propaganda techniques. Do you really think the US government should be patterned after that of the Nazis? Does FOX even CARE?

Don't advertise statements unless they're true. You're risking the lives of millions of patients by airing false statements.
