NBC Nightly News features children turned away from NIH, ignores Dem funding oppositi

After Republicans in the House of Representatives passed a funding bill for the National Institutes of Health, NBC Nightly News has run two feature stories about children and other patients who could not enroll in a cancer clinical trial at NIH because of the “shutdown.” In neither story was the Republican funding bill or Democratic rejection of funding mentioned. Anyone who pays even a little attention knows that it is Democrats, and Democrats alone who have blocked funding for NIH child clinical trials. Yet in the entire segment on NBC tonight, not a word was mentioned about why there is no funding. All that is mentioned is a generic and presumably bi-partisan failure to reach an agreement.

Harry Reid then refused to agree( http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/10/harry-reid-blocks-nih-child-cancer-funding-even-though-individual-funding-used-to-be-the-norm/) to a consent motion in the Senate to approve the funding. Dana Bash at CNN even questioned Reid about it at a press conference, wondering why he won’t just agree to the House funding bill since it might help a child.
