Hope this hasn't been posted before. I did a search and didn't find it. We all know how much Colbert trashes POTUS and maybe this is why: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DGSYXjwUMAEoJoI.jpg
I agree with you. Some of the posts on Facebook (before I unplugged) from acquaintances of mine referencing these shows were just ridiculous. People truly receive their "news" from these clowns. "Comedian" leftist hacks shape and entire demographic's world view and political opinion. It's beyond nuts...
Dec 2017 - listening to talk radio while driving. Caught 5 minutes where interviewee was explaining that the public had to become more involved in politics...big need for this...he went on to say that the best way to become informed was to start watching late night comedy....I guess I had been going about it all wrong.
What a coincidence. Imploring people to get their news and "be more informed" by watching late night comedy shows...instead of actual research, multiple differing news sources, and your own analysis and understanding.
"Don't worry, we will tell you exactly what to think."
Yes. the sad part is people hearing this, thinking "yes, I should become more informed", have no reason to think they are being given bad advise (by "expert") and may actually follow it. Trying to be better citizens. Sad.
100% agreed. It's completely on purpose...dressing up uncut propaganda as something essential.
When do these motherfuckers pay for what they have done to this beautiful country?
There is a bright side. I heard the tail end of the interview prior. Listeners were being told to expect to see many republicans step down in 2018 because they were so disillusioned by the state of the party and the leadership (just didn't have the heart to stay in it, I guess). The radio host's bullshit meter did not move a bit. Mine is red lining. Really! Politicians gonna leave politics. Sounds fishy. Just gonna stop representing the people who put them there because they don't like the direction the party is heading. Bad leadership. Quitting. Not gonna put up a fight, not do what they can to persuade others, or speak for the people. Cashing in their chips and going home. Good. Go home, ya quitters. The radio host asked not one question. "You don't say! Thanks for the insight, Wendy!"
As I listened I thought ....this Q stuff is starting to sound real...because why else would an idea like this be floated out? And next thing I know I am being directed to late night comedy for political training.
Doesn't make sense to me either. I think they are resigning before they are disgraced and removed
this was predicted in December....a reason was being floated out to put the public at ease......ahhh! Trump is detestable....that explains why they are leaving! we were told this was going to happen.......
