This is just too ironic. What will The Onion do when “real” news writes their headlines for them? On a more serious note, this exemplifies not only how heated the health care debate is becoming, but also how the media gravitates towards this heat like a moth to a flame. I think this is the exact reason inflammatory protestors are being drummed up on both sides of the issue. People want to see conflict and passion (even in the form of finger-biting); it grabs their attention. However, it just creates one big screaming match fueled by both sides trying to be heard over the other. Hopefully Obama’s health care reform speech next week will bring the debate back to the issue and not the conflict surrounding them.
