As Twitchy reported, the Obama administration included hundreds of thousands of dental plans in the Obamacare enrollment data, which provided an artificial boost to the numbers and caused the sign-up goal to be met.
At the end of March of this year, Media Matters referred to people saying the administration was cooking the books on ACA enrollment as “Obamacare enrollment truthers”:

The liberal spin seems to be that dental enrollment was “accidentally” included, and Media Matters is expected to fully embrace that claim, because why not?
Who are the schmucks that believe the admin that has been caught in a million lies just happened to skew enrollment numbers by mistake?
