The Best of Colbert: It was 2006, when the media was still - TopicsExpress



          

The Best of Colbert: It was 2006, when the media was still enamored with Bush, acting as stenographers not journalists. Colbert spoke at the White House Correspondents Dinner, to roast Bush. But he turned his withering comedy on the media who valued their privilege and access to power over reporting the real news. They sat there stunned, not knowing how to act, too stunned to laugh at themselves. This is the best critique of the failings of journalism in the last generation, and Colbert did it with flare and humor, never breaking character. https://youtube/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=U7FTF4Oz4dI
