[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] The journalists at CBS This Morning on Wednesday swooned over Barack Obama's fake interview with an internet chat show host. Offering almost no criticism of the viral video designed to boost ObamaCare enrollment, co-anchor Gayle King lauded, "Humor works. Bravo to Zach [Galifanakis] and bravo to the President!" In a follow-up interview with senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarett, King enthused over the Funny or Die video: "It's certainly gone viral, which I think you guys are doing the hula over there." Jarrett assured her that "we are." The Democratic strategist then shifted into full-commercial mode and told the hosts: "Everyone who is watching your show, go on the website today. HealthCare.gov. It's working just fine."
