Anyone see The Daily Show re: Healthcare.gov?

[SHRED]

WTF is wrong with him?

He sounds like a rightwinger in his "humor" about the healthcare.gov site and his edited video of Obama's speech about it.
Man I just watched a recording from a few nights ago on my DVR and I had to shut it off.

Not funny Jon.

[Puzzledtraveller]

1. He's right.

[lostincalifornia]

8. Not in California, Washington, and other states including west Va believe it or not, but lets not

Talk about that mr. Stewart

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

33. He's not right in many states. He was hyperbolic and in many instances, wrong on the facts.

[seattle15]

36. He is right

There, fixed it for you.

[NYC_SKP]

2. Missed it, but heard it on Hannity's show. Thanks a whole fucking lot, Stewart. Doosh.

Fucking owned media. No escape.

For a laugh, sold his soul for laughs and ratings.

[lostincalifornia]

5. You listen to hannity? How do you handle it?

[NYC_SKP]

9. Funny, I was cleaning out my car with radio on, had to turn it off.

The local markets shift rotations but most programming is conservative. Sean or Dennis Miller. Pick yer dooosh.

[lostincalifornia]

10. How about music, just my two cents

[NYC_SKP]

17. Yes, indeed, genius, here you go, music!

H=Just a check in, bro. Some markets have music one hour and then it goes to talk.

Here's the music:

[lostincalifornia]

22. Good one

[NYC_SKP]

23. Seriously, there are good programs but in this instance I parked, radio on, bad program.

Changed stations.

3. He has health insurance. The rest of us uninsured plebes need to fuck off. nt

[lostincalifornia]

4. He is just looking at the negatives being bantered about by the msm, not the positives

[SHRED]

6. and amplifying them

It wasn't even good humor.
It was just stupid.

[BluegrassStateBlues]

11. Stewart has always been overrated anyway.

You can tell he's full of himself.

[SHRED]

15. Colbert has far surpassed him in so many ways

[BluegrassStateBlues]

18. Yes. Colbert is far more entertaining. nt

[kelliekat44]

19. True that! nt

[lostincalifornia]

16. Actually he is just an entertainer, I sure would not give him anymore credibility than that

[pennylane100]

29. I did not watch the episode

where he puts down Obamacare because I knew I would get pissed at him. However, just a couple of hours ago I watched last night's show and he really nailed Rove.

I think he believes that somehow he is more credible if he occasionally highlights the screw ups on the left (sadly we are not always perfect). However, most of his fans do not appreciate his pathetic attempts at an evenhanded approach and it does not serve him well.

[Electric Monk]

44. I, and 19 Emmys, 2 Peabody Awards, and even a a GLAAD Award, would beg to differ.

[NoOneMan]

7. Leave Healthcare.gov alone!

[Kali]

24. ...

[Mojorabbit]

27. !

[solarhydrocan]

31. shocking to see that guy now

Time flies! That was just yesterday...

[NoOneMan]

43. Much better

That video could of been crushing to him

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. A minor nothing of a story, interesting to morons, current rage fetishists, and Obama haters

Nobody will remember in a year, and millions will be covered.

[SHRED]

14. true

[BluegrassStateBlues]

20. +1

[lostincalifornia]

21. Absolutely correct, and of course their idiotic comments as you said will be forgotten

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

35. The president will come out of this looking like a rose. But most important, as you say, millions

will be covered.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

25. I was disgusted. Very! If we saw Ed's show today, hosted by Michael Eric Dyson, a segment was

dedicated to Joan Walsh who was lambasted by BOTH the left and right in the corporate media because she defended the ACA. Her argument was that just because the Healthcare.gov website experienced glitches, we must not lose site of the importance of what the ACA is meant to do. She challenged Ezra Klein to take a step back from his histrionics and hyperbolic reportage in the Washington Post and breathe--understanding that the glitches will be fixed and the ACA will help millions access health care. For that, she was called all kinds of names, including "Obamabot" (sound familiar, like some here on DU) and other misogynist names. This, even though at times Joan Walsh has been a harsh critic of the Obama administration. But because on this one issue she was defending him, she was absolutely excoriated on Twitter and Facebook: called fat and ugly, accused of sleeping with the president, etc. Professionally, few liberal professional journalists came to her defense, so she went on both Ed's show and Chris Hayes' show to defend her. It was awful!!

[Blue_Roses]

30. good grief.

It's just down-right nasty these days. These "Obama-phobes" are seething with hate and jealousy...and most of all, fear.

[otohara]

26. Rightwingers Rejoyced

thanks Jon.

He's getting mean in his old age - unlike Stephen Colbert who doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

[Blue_Roses]

28. Jon is full of himself...

Who put him on the throne?

Over-rated jerk.

[Egnever]

46. He pretty much put himself there.

And if you remember it happening it was a beautiful thing.

[Blue_Roses]

50. yeah, I remember now...but

I'd forgotten how humble he once was.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

32. He's awful at attempts to be "even-handed" that when it comes to going after Obama/Dems, he is often

devoid of facts and the skits are not funny. Colbert makes an attempt to be more thoughtful.

[Chathamization]

48. I agree, his false equivalencies are usually pretty bad.

He's usually best when lampooning media coverage, though even that's seemed a bit forced lately.

[Vashta Nerada]

34. ...and you guys will be praising him tomorrow when

He rips into the 'baggers.

He's a comedian, people!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

37. 'cept for when he's not funny. The healthcare.gov skit was really not funny.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

38. Like he and Assif Mandvi just ripped into racist repugliservateabaggers... n/t

[Gravitycollapse]

39. Attack him now. Praise him later. Figures.

[Chathamization]

47. Of course, he's not infallible.

Tell me how well his IRS faux-scandal segments hold up today.

[Puzzledtraveller]

49. The trusty "I never really liked him anyway" meme

Pathetic, predictable.

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. Yes, and he's a comedian.

People tuning in is how he pays for his kid's education. I don't let it it get at me because he isn't reporting the news per se'. He's making fun of the news. And sometimes it will be a smack at Dems.

[jazzimov]

41. You turned it off before Jon pointed out

that the website is NOT the ACA and he pointed out how many people the ACA has helped?

Do yourself a favor, turn it back on and watch until the end.

[a kennedy]

42. I brought this up previously, and it didn't get much play.....

45. No, nobody but you saw it, through an amazing happenstance
