Anti-Obamacare ads create controversy
They've been called "creepy," "cynical," and even "deplorable" and "sexist"– a series of web ads that urge young people to opt out of Obamacare. They've become so controversial, even Pres. Obama weighed in, referencing the ads in a speech on Thursday. But now add to the debate some questions over who funded the campaign. CNN's Brian Todd talks to the president of the organization that launched the viral videos in his first television interview.

Instead of offering your typical "hard-hitting investigative reporting – asking the TOUGH questions and reporting ACTUAL NEWS" like you usually do
– like digging in to find out just exactly WHO is paying for this internet ad that's gone viral...
(oh wait – I guess any idiot would probably guess this answer, if they even BOTHERED to wonder it – uuuh... smart business people funded the ads because they could foresee a profit from it, perhaps?! I mean, I didn't have a news source spell it out for me, so I could be wrong...maybe I better plug into CNN so I can get to the BOTTOM of this EXTREMELY important issue – because "Who paid for an INTERNET advertisement" is a going to make a PRODIGIOUS IMPACT ON MY LIFE!!)
But I digress... As I was saying, instead of reporting your USUAL crap, why not do something RELEVANT for a change and actually REPORT ON THE CONCERNS OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE AD!???!!!! I mean, there MUST be SOME reason WHY the ad is going viral!!! To me, THAT seems more like "news" then who is donating money to who?
Ya know, I'm not an educated news person like those of you at CNN or MSNBC, or ABC or CBS or NBC or NPR or BBC or EVERY OTHER entertainment outlet in the WORLD (with the exception of Fox, which by the way is hated and demonized by the REST of you because THEY'RE the ones not being FAIR!?!) But EVEN I can tell that you've got some MAJOR issues in understanding what is "newsworthy." Either that, or you just LIKE presenting your biased agenda to the world under the PRETENSE of news... perhaps its like playing dress-up?! You must say to yourself each morning, "Yippee! I get to go play News Reporter today, just as soon as Obama's administration or the liberal/socialist bosses tell me what to say!"
You failed to show Harry Reid's grossly negative poling numbs today. That displays an incredible bias and very poor journalistic ethics if such a thing exists.... Shame on you. Turn you TV to The Five!
