After Thursday’s network evening newscasts feared that President Trump’s executive action curtailing ObamaCare regulations was a threat to Barack Obama’s legacy, on Friday morning, the ABC, CBS, and NBC morning shows launched into full panic mode over “the biggest move to undermine ObamaCare yet” and touted how “Democrats call the move pointless sabotage.”

“President Trump’s health care bombshell. The White House immediately ends insurance subsidies for poor Americans, the biggest move to undermine ObamaCare yet,” co-host George Stephanopoulos hysterically warned about another presidential order revoking government subsidies to the health care industry at the top of ABC’s Good Morning America. “Democrats call it sabotage, saying it will hurt millions of working and middle class families,” the former Democratic political operative added.

In the report that followed, Chief White House Correspondent Jon Karl parroted the talking points from Stephanaopoulos: “This is President Trump’s biggest move yet to dismantle ObamaCare....It’s the latest move by the President to do through executive action what he could not get Congress to do, dismantle ObamaCare.”

While noting that “the move to end the subsidies was praised by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan,” Karl also highlighted Democrats harshly denouncing the policy change: “But Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer condemned the move, saying, ‘It is a spiteful act of vast, pointless sabotage. Now millions of hard-working American families will suffer just because President Trump wants them to.’”

“Democrats are horrified by this move. They think it will mean less – fewer people insured and more people paying much higher health insurance premiums on the lower income side,” Karl emphasized moments later.

Leading off CBS This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose decried: “Overnight, the Trump administration ends $7 billion in ObamaCare subsidies for millions of low income Americans....Democrats call the move pointless sabotage.”

Introducing a report on the topic minutes later, Rose fretted that “President Trump is trying to undermine ObamaCare on two fronts” with the dual executive orders. Like Karl on ABC, fill-in co-host Bianna Golodryga announced: “Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi responded in a statement saying, quote, ‘Millions of hard-working American families will suffer just because President Trump wants them to.’”

“President Trump often predicts the law’s demise, but now he’s taking a much more active role in nullifying his predecessor’s signature achievement,” correspondent Nancy Cordes worried. After repeating Democrats’ charge that it was “a spiteful act of vast, pointless sabotage,” Cordes argued that Republicans “risk getting blamed if insurers leave the market or sue the government.”

Telling viewers at the top of NBC’s Today that the President was “not giving up” on ObamaCare repeal, co-host Savannah Guthrie proclaimed: “The surprise move overnight that could dismantle key parts of ObamaCare.”

“President Trump has spent his first months in office trying to reverse former President Obama’s policies piece by piece,” White House Correspondent Kristen Welker described in her report minutes later. Like her ABC and CBS colleagues, she sounded the alarm:

President Trump taking a double barrel approach to unraveling ObamaCare. Overnight announcing he will scrap critical subsidies to health insurance companies. Subsidies that are used to help pay the out-of-pocket costs for low income people. Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer blasting the move as a “spiteful act of vast, pointless sabotage.”

“Critics fear the twin hits could leave insurers to pull out of ObamaCare’s marketplaces and derail the former President’s signature domestic achievement,” Welker lamented.

The biased coverage across all three networks was brought to viewers by Mazda, Crest, and JimmyDean.
