Jon Stewart exposes hypocrisies, again.

Like most other young Americans, I like to watch The Daily Show. The other day one of my favorite people, Reza Aslan, was appearing, so I made sure to tune in. In the beginning of the show I caught this:
Fast-forward to 3:46.
Jon Stewart explains how one doctor is already looking to not provide coverage to patients who voted for Obama. His reasoning for hating Obama & the healthcare reform? He found some stuff on the internet that told him hospices were going to be cut by 2012. Although this has no basis in reality, the man uses the Elizabeth Hasselbeck defense - he found it on the internet, and therefore it must be true.
He's a doctor.
He's supposed to be one of the brightest, most-educated individuals in the country. And yet, his mind has been clouded by the misinformation spewed by thedrudgereport, Rush Limbaugh, and Fox & Friends.

If this is the misunderstanding of a doctor, how can there be hope for the rest of the country?
