NYT Downplays Own Reporting That Obamacare ‘Tech Surge’ Was Only A
Talk about burying the lede. Deep within a 5,000-word story published today in the New York Times about the Obamacare website launch is the very damaging disclosure that the much-vaunted “tech surge” promised by the president in late October was mostly just a publicity stunt.
