After 2013 comments from ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber crediting passage of the law on "the stupidity of the American voter" went viral over a week ago, NBC's Today finally covered the major controversy on Monday. Co-host Savannah Guthrie made it sound like a breaking news headline: "...big story out of Washington this morning." News anchor Natalie Morales followed: "A new controversy now is brewing over comments made by MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, the self-described architect of ObamaCare."
Correspondent Peter Alexander began a full report on the topic by declaring: "This is certainly not the kind of headline the President was looking for as his administration once again kicks off enrollment in the Affordable Care Act, that happened this past weekend. Just in time, these year-old comments are getting new scrutiny and causing another round of ObamaCare political fallout." The headline on screen read: "ObamaCare Political Firestorm; Top Advisor Says Law Lacks Transparency."
