Stephen Colbert has a reputation for parodying news and news interviews with an almost
"Modest Proposalian" take on the world. It's funny, but it can be extremely biting. You definitely don't want to get caught in Colber's Crosshairs (see: Bears). Because of the format of the show, he can ask extremely probing, honest, and tough questions without really ruffling the status quo. However, anyone who gets it knows that he is slyly cajoling the truth from people who otherwise think it's just a soft show that doesn't report any news.
Boy are those people wrong. Even newscasters, who should have their thumbs glued to the pulse of America, don't get it, making fun of it while simultaneously looking like the out-of-touch, horribly overrated and unimportant hacks they are.
Here is a prime example why Colbert's show is better than the crap that goes on in the mainstream media.
And here is another reason I like Stephen Colbert...
...dislike Tucker Carlson...
...and like people who KNOW WHAT IN THE HELL THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT...

The Colbert Report is excellent, and about fifty percent of the time my television is on, it's tuned in to either the Colbert Report or the Daily Show. Stephen Colbert not only is an incredibly clever host, he also has some Major cojones. The address to the President: wow! I mean, there undoubtably was Secret Service all over that room. Colbert was just one phone call away from... "neutralization" is the prefered term in the military, I believe.
