From:

Re "How Right-Wing Media Saved Obamacare", that title is not misleading at all. The article goes into exhaustive detail about the insane lies spread by everyone from Faux News to Sarah Palin (who, let it not be forgotten, was the one who originated the "death panels" lie) which fueled equally-rabid objections to Obamacare. It also details the pie-in-the-sky lies Republicans and their media lackeys told about what Americans would get instead, once they had repealed Obamacare. Then when the reality hit -- when millions of people realized that they, yes THEY, were going to lose THEIR health care because "the ACA" and "Obamacare" were the same thing... that's when the shit hit the fan. So no, it is not either far-fetched or misleading to say that the right-wing media played a major role in the ignominious defeat of Ryan's plan.
