  • Actually, this report isn't entirely accurate. The Daily Show sketch was to show the hypocrisy caused by a bill in Florida which required people receiving government support via taxpayers to accept forced drug testing. Assif inquired that since government officials' salaries were paid by taxpayers, they should be forced to test as well. One of the main advocates for the bill, a government employee, wouldn't take the test. He also pointed out the false statistics used to popularize the bill.

  • The fact that this report calls The Daily Show a "Fake news program" says it all. They are raising an important point through satire, and it seems to go straight over the heads of these people.

  • btw if you tested positive for drugs, you could elect your foodstamps go to a representative payee to buy food for your child. You would only be denied cash assistance, aka , TANF

  • fake news? wtf i thought fox news is fake

  • @itsmarmalade No, they're CHOOSING to be dismissive of the Daily Show so that people won't take them seriously. Make no mistake: these people aren't stupid, they are afraid.

  • Governor Rick Scott wants thousands of welfare recipients to take a drug test before receiving benefits. Guess what kind of business Rick Scott owns. Wait for it....... A drug testing clinic!!! I'm sure this is merely a coincidence. Governor Scott wouldn't pass a law that would benefit him financially. Naw!!!!

  • @1dckhunter well dick hunter, I think your name is right on.

  • Aasif is a retard. Come on Daily Show, His name should be ASSif...send him back to desert.
