Original FoxNews.com headline in response to the Congressional Budget Office report on the Republican health care bill:

Headline now:

fox_cbo

Yup -- for a few minutes, Fox told the truth: RepubliCare will "result in millions more uninsured." Now the message is that millions will drop coverage -- y'know, by choice.

Very clever.

You can see the old headline in the URL (foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/13/budget-analysis-obamacare-repeal-would-result-in-millions-more-uninsured.html), although Fox has duplicated the story with the new headline and a matching URL here, so I assume the old page will disappear soon.

Now someone from the Fox Ministry of Truth has to scrub the original headline at Radio.FoxNews.com...

radio_fox

... and at Fox News Insider.

Hewing to the party line is hard!
