The Obamacare "Tech Surge" Lie

If you've lost the New York Times, you're lost as a liberal Democrat.   Here's a nugget from the "paper of record's" reporting on the Obamacare "tech surge":

But while the contractors were grateful to Mr. Zients for helping to create order, they saw the administration’s “tech surge” — announced by Mr. Obama in the Rose Garden a few days before QSSI took over — as mostly an exercise in public relations.

The announcement conjured images of an army of software engineers descending on the project. In fact, the surge centered on about a half-dozen people who had taken leave from various technology companies to join the effort. They included Michael Dickerson, a site reliability engineer at Google who had also worked on Mr. Obama’s campaign and now draws praise from contractors as someone who is “actually making a difference,” one said.

Even so, one person working on the project said, “Surge was probably an overstatement.”

 An "overstatement" is when you call something a surge when it's only a few hundred people.   When there's only six people and you call it a "surge," what you are doing is LYING.

But, then, we've grown to expect that, haven't we?
