Melissa Francis: CNBC scolded me for criticizing ObamaCare

TV anchor Melissa Francis said she was reprimanded by CNBC chiefs for criticizing the administration over ObamaCare.

Francis, now an anchor on Fox Business Network, said on air Friday that liberal media, including NBC and ABC, helped the architects of ObamaCare “cover up the truth . . . I pointed out to my [CNBC] viewers that the math of ObamaCare simply didn’t work . . . And when I did that, I was silenced . . . I was told that I was ‘disrespecting the office of the president’ by telling what turned out to be the absolute truth.”

A CNBC rep said, “That’s laughable, but we take notice, because as the fastest-growing network in prime time, we’re always on the lookout for high quality comedy writers and actresses.”
