Left leaning media outlets criticized Internet news mogul Matt Drudge’s
tweets on Friday, but the backlash stemmed from a misunderstanding of how
Obamacare will affect small businesses.
On Friday, Matt Drudge tweeted, “Just paid
the Obamacare penalty for not ‘getting covered’… I’M CALLING IT A LIBERTY TAX!”
A few minutes later, Jason Lee, the
Director of Progressive Media at the White House,
tweeted a response, saying Mr. Drudge’s
tweet was a, “flat lie, no fee for previous year. Scary how much
influence he once had.”
From there, the tweets came rolling in, attacking Mr. Drudge via
social media and liberal news outlets, Breitbart reported.
“Dude, there’s no penalty until next yr,” Sahil Kapur of Talking
Points Memo tweeted, followed with a full story in the news outlet with a
headline saying Mr. Drudge was
“probably lying.”
