After a video of ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber declaring that the health care law only passed due to the "stupidity of the American voter" went viral over the weekend, the Big Three broadcasts networks were initially silent. However, on Thursday, CBS This Morning finally noticed the scandal as co-host Charlie Rose informed viewers: "A new controversy stirring this morning over the Affordable Care Act. An architect of President Obama's health care law says it was written to take advantage of what he calls 'voter stupidity.'"
Rose noted that "Republicans are fuming and the adviser is backpedaling" as he turned to correspondent Jan Crawford. Crawford began her full report by observing: "...the timing of this thing could really hardly be any worse. You've got open enrollment starting this weekend, the Supreme Court taking up a major challenge to the law. It's a time the administration was needing to build support and enthusiasm, but these comments are stirring more controversy than ever."
