Back to on the hunt at foxnews.com.

Allotted time for our daily biased brush with the rich Larry.

Who is of course they Fox News contributor and editor.

Of the national news gives it right.

Hey hey don't buy it got good thank you I gather you have some.

-- -- nationally it with the way the media has been talking about it.

Vice president Biden's comments.

Well it's just.

It's one of those cases as -- difficult to prove because there's been media discussion -- and some.

Reporter is in and a seven analysts.

Actually criticized him but it just that the volume and intensity.

Of the -- back if Republican.

It says such a racially.

Charged remark would just be.

Awesome -- holes so it it's definitely a major thing -- -- news cycle here but it's not a scale.

And that's that -- see if they're Republican and my my other beef.

It's just how the press is covering.

Medicare where that Medicare debate where I think it's.

One largely ignorant and too.

And no Republican ever lived get away with what President Obama got away with one in cutting 700 billion dollars out of Medicare and almost -- not making a ripple and -- to just sort of denying.

It happened which is more -- -- their defense now.

Yet richt -- -- I'm glad we're not we're not focusing on the whole -- coming because I agree it's it it it's -- a little nonsensical and the way the media is covering the issues is much more of an issue I believe and and you and you -- -- Medicare being one of those.

Major issue both wet weather what is the problem -- here rich in terms of media coverage.

Eight is we just guilty of not focusing enough on the issues -- or are we reflecting.

The candidates who want talking enough about the real issues.

I don't think and Medicare in particular that very many reporters you know look.

What do premium support plan -- is or care to learn about it certainly in its most recent iteration.

I console it's a little complicated you know it sets up and I can probably Europe -- and glaze over and -- audience now.

This seems like getting into the -- but the current version of the Ryan plan.

That is very to have people insurers did including the traditional.

Fee for service.

Federal Medicare program bid to cover seniors and give them all the same Medicare benefits they get now.

Guarantee that they're gonna compete on who can do that on the most affordable basis and then whatever the second lowest bid is.

That's the level premium support that the government pace so there's no reason anyone we'll have to pay anything more.

For any of their Medicare benefits if that's the plan actually -- some people might select the cheaper -- and actually.

And get some money -- savings account from the government some might want a price your plan a lot pay a little bit more out of pockets do you.

But that's the basic structure.

Of this thing and I don't think that has been reported and more than five -- problem.

Not -- -- and so what people already wanna know about the issues they need to read the national review apps so that's always the answer to.

The odds of every question you may have read the national review -- retiree who is editor of said national review thank you very much.
