On Thursday night's Colbert Report [it's French, bitch] Stephen cited this Inky article and it immediately piqued my interest. It was an article on how the Humane Society was "livid" about the episode. Stephen then played a [real?] taped conversation of his call to the Humane Society. The most hilarious part the one that had me almost in tears, was the "visual approximation" of the Humane Society receptionist. A just beginning to be dread locked dirty blonde haired girl with freckles or acne and a goofy smile. I was cracking up a storm. And when Stephen was handed off to a higher up, the graphic was changed to a black bear holding the phone up to its ear.
Stephen demanded an apology and when he didn't get one, he said that he accepted it anyways. When the bearman said that he/they didn't apologize, Stephen said that it was too late and that he had already accepted the apology and quickly hung up. I don't know how he does it. Keeping that straight face.
I have been watching Colbert Report since it's inception and this is what I noticed. Colbert is pushing the Israeli political agenda on the Americans who have no knowledge of what's going on in the Middle East. Some of his Guests are notorious Zionist and have books and articles that promote the annihilation of the Palestinians. I worked for the United nations delegation in the region and I am aware of the multiple nuances that Mr Colbert's is imbedding in his shows and feeding the American the wrong news about the reality of people in the Middle East.
Jon Stuart on the other hand is proud of his Jewishness but he is fair in his reports. Colbert Report is just another Fox News format that makes up news in an entertaining way, but is absolutely wrong!
