There is so much bad news coming out so fast on the ObamaCare front that Kathleen Sebelius and company over at Health and Human Services (HHS) are looking for help. They've put out a solicitation trolling for vendors to provide media monitoring and analysis services. Here is how the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA) at HHS puts it.

A core responsibility of ASPA and its partner Agency public affairs offices acros (sic) HHS is to provide the Secretary, Department and Agency leadership, and staff with the latest analysis of what the media is reporting about Department-wide and Agency-specific priorities, initiatives, and programs.

HHS explains the need. They are looking for a news aggregation service.

Department and Agency leadership in particular, along with agency staff, need to have early in the morning complete situational awareness of what the media is reporting about the organization and its programs and initiatives.

I got a cost savings suggestion Kathleen. Forget about contracting for services. After teaching your public affairs troops how to use a spell checker, why don't you just tell them to go look it up on Drudge?
