"The Curious Case of 200 Nearly Identical Media Headlines"

All within 24 hours.

• Third of Illinoisans went without health insurance in last 2 years: Sun-Times

• Report: 2.5M in Michigan lacked health insurance: Chicago Tribune

• Study: 29% of Ohioans have gone without health insurance: BizJournals

• Report: More NJ residents lacking health insurance: Forbes

• Study: Many Kansans are uninsured: BizJournals

• Report tallies uninsured in Hawaii: KPUA AM 670

• Study: 1 in 3 Alabamians have no insurance: BizJournals

• 1 out of 4 NH residents lacked health insurance within last two years: WBZ

• 1 out of 3 Coloradans lacked insurance in past two years: Denver Post

• Nearly 1 in 3 Idahoans lack health insurance, study says: Idaho Statesman

• One in four nonelderly Minnesotans has been without health insurance, study shows: Twin Cities

• 1 in 3 are uninsured in Georgia, study says: Augusta Chronicle

• 1.3 million Louisiana residents uninsured: Independent

• Millions in N.C. lack health plan: Winston-Salem Journal

• Uninsured are mostly working: Sun-Herald

• Nearly one-third of Wyoming residents went without health insurance in past two years: Wyoming Tribune

• Report finds health insurance lacking in W.Va.: Charleston Gazette

• Nearly 1/3 Of Kentuckians Uninsured Says Report: WFPL Radio

• REPORT: 254K Rhode Islanders Uninsured at Some Point from 2007-2008: ABC 6

The "study" frequently mentioned in the headlines was done by Families USA, a liberal advocacy group:

According to Discover the Networks, Families USA is a member of the "Progressive States Network", which works closely with (you guessed it) ACORN and the SEIU. These ultra-partisan groups have truly one agenda: big government.

Director Blue goes on to take apart the study.

Isn't it odd that the moment a hardcore liberal group sends out a study to the media, 200 headlines blossom?

I'm not sure that happens when Heritage or the AEI sends out a study.

I sorta think it doesn't.
