Here in Universe B, the buffoon is the competent journalist, and the "competent journalists" are buffoons. Raw Story-Complete with video! Excerpts:
On his show Thursday night, The Daily Show host Jon Stewart mocked CNN and Fox News for falsely reporting that the individual mandate in President Barack Obama’s health reform bill had been struck down by the Supreme Court.
Both networks claimed the individual mandate was ruled unconstitutional.
“It was a moment of great drama and, like many of our greatest dramas, a work of complete fiction,” Stewart joked.
But while Fox News was able to correct itself within a matter of minutes, CNN continued to claim the individual mandate was unconstitutional for 7 minutes.
“No sympathy, CNN,” Stewart said. “You’ve been driving us nuts with this shit for months, it’s like Christmas morning for you guys.”
He also took aim at Romney’s reaction to the ruling, noting that Romney apparently wanted to keep all of “Obamacare” except for the individual mandate.
“So you’re going to keep everything but the mandate, A.K.A the thing that pays for all of it?” Stewart wondered. “So the fiscally responsible Republican is saying, don’t worry, you’re going to get all the goodies, but not the bill. Cus that would be taxes, and that is tyranny.” Well John, when you put it that way, Romney's position sounds so hollow and stupid..
Psst: Hey CNN and Fox, you made MSNBC look professional!
