Not to pile on, but everything hinges on whether Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez said that the study found M4A would save "the government $2 trillion." I've never seen Sanders or AOC make that claim. It's about overall costs.

Even if the error originated with http://factcheck.org , it's like going on air and saying, "Is Sanders right to claim that, immediately after 9/11, the US invaded Belize?" I feel like CNN anchors should know enough about politics to want to doublecheck that personally.

It’s an editorial decision by Jake and he is standing by the report. Though I imagine the same mentality I describe is pervasive among self-appointed fact checkers as well.

While you are at it, why don't you ask an non-koch funded economist how it is that every other industrialized nation in the world somehow manages the impossible, Jake?

Right, if the agenda was to help people understand this, Tapper would have asked economists who could have explained why the Mercatus study's finding of $2 trillion in savings was probably an underestimate.

It's obvious tapper is only concerned about the appearance of bias, not bias itself. He will overdub the quote and take away that dumbass "false" graphic and walk away happy.
