Eapoe6: Old rich man pretending to relate.

Time to turn the other butt-cheek, amiright?

They both deserve the lampoon. Farking morans.

Regrettably, the CNN/Fox bit was the only good part of the show. The team coverage really beat the joke into the ground and 3 Tenacious D songs is about 4 too many at this point. Really thought he would have done better with this one.

"Yes, wildly different. There's what you've been saying....."

LOL

CNN: First!
Fox: Second!
TDS: Wrong!

Should be enough to point out to people this is (one of) the exact problems with cable news media outlets?

No?

Well shiat.

I had checked CNN when I got up that morning and they said the mandate was struck down. So I got ready for worked all ticked off. Then I checked it again before I left for work and it said the mandate was held up! Good day at work!

At what income level do the new obamacare taxes start. I make 75k a year, the wife makes 40k. I can tailor my truck driving job to get the free medical but not pay the new tax, but by how much?More time at home but less money, whatever. I thought he said he wasn't going to raise our taxes.

It really is remarkable how farking bad CNN has become. Every single facet of it. The anchors/personalities, the programming lineup. I mean even their website is a farking trainwreck.

Look at this crap from 'This Just In' section where the bulk of the 'news' they cover can be found on the main page. It's just rows of hyperlinks on unrelated subjects. I mean look at this pile of fail on their right now:

• Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes split | Photos
• 5 ways to cope with heat | U.S. bakes
• Postal Service closures start next week
• Stocks soar on eurozone news
• House OKs highway, student loan bill
• Hijack attempt thwarted in China
• Madoff's brother pleads guilty
• Arsonist dies after verdict in court
• GOP launches anti-Obamacare blitz
• Zimmerman seeks new bond
• Boy missing after Olympic torch relay
• Holder held in contempt | Reaction
• 31 victims ID'd in Air Force sex scandal
• NBA draft night winners, losers SI
• Nadal upset SI | Who is this upstart?
• Ticker: Obama's 'BFD' shirt
• Reporter stripped, sexually attacked
• Man jumps to help baby on tracks
• Rielle Hunter grilled over privacy
• Ke$ha gets a tattoo where?

It's like Drudge without the sirens.

Why Fareed Zakaria has a show on there (granted one buried at a horrible timeslot one day a week) is beyond me.

Colbert's take, for those interested (and too lazy to go look for it).

Modern US news is a couple of old ladies gossiping over the fence. It is NOTHING more. Sure you have the crazy paranoid Fox News lady who keeps complaining about the chem trails, but it doesn't mean the other old ladies aren't parroting random facts they heard or just thought up in their heads.

jj325: violentsalvation: I didn't see Stewart but I saw Colbert's reaction and it was great.

But there's good news: RomneyCare ruled constitutional! Woohoo!

I'm sad the shows are going on vacation (again already?) for the next two weeks. The next week will have way too much material to just sum up when they get back.

If you get health insurance, there's no new tax.

If you refuse to either take part in medicaid, the exchanges, your employers plan, or purchase it some other way, then the tax for you would be 95 dollars in 2014, 300 dollars in 2015, 695 in 2016, and the higher of either 695 (inflation adjusted) or 2.2 percent of your gross adjusted income thereafter.

Wasteland: Colbert's take, for those interested (and too lazy to go look for it).

Not as funny as Jon's but more outraged. Even when they dumbasses attempted to reverse themselves, they still got it wrong, saying that the entire law had been upheld. It wasn't. The Court ruled that the provision to take away all of a state's Medicaid funding if they didn't expand enrollment was unconstitutional.

Fox = conservative
MSNBC = liberal
CNN = tarded

When I want my late-breaking Kardashian news, I tune in to CNN.

Erix: bdub77: Damn that was one of Stewart's better moments. The end of that video was hilarious.

Bah, I missed his punchline at the end, and couldn't rewind fast enough. I'm sure not sitting through the commercial again though.

Here's it reproduced in text form: link

Good thing Obamacare was upheld because it sounds like you're having a neurological event.

Launch Code: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Hey, in your defense, you're not alone. At least you were willing to admit it.

Hmmm, seems like several someones didn't get the memo.

Stewart saying "Obama walking down 'I killed bin laden lane'" was hilarious.

For people who seem to only get their information from Fox News (and are thus clueless), your taxes are going up by a jillionty dollars.

For the rest of us, if we have medical insurance, they don't go up at all.

You do know if you do get health insurance there is no tax and in fact depending on income you may get a tax credit. If your employer has health insurance available why would you not get it in this day and age?

darn...i wanted to see the D rock the house.

the entire Obama bit was incredible. He does a pretty good impersonation

After speaking with a couple of conservative co-workers (who of course have insurance through work) the consensus seems to be that they simply don't like that they have to be FORCED by the big bad government to get insurance or pay a tax -- even though they've never ever been poor enough where weighing health coverage versus grocery bills is a tough choice.

Honestly, who would opt to pay the tax and not get coverage? I'm guessing the tax is probably as expensive as the insurance itself.

I do like Stewart, but I get tired of hearing about Foxnews on his show.

I love how people think they know more about the constitution than the Supreme court.

CNN and Fox didn't blow it, the Supreme Court did.

Dammit to hell, how did I fark that up? I'm going to assume I suffered a minor stroke earlier today.

It's not as though this hasn't happened before.
