Breaking - Ron Paul on Daily Show
Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - FreeMarketNews.com
Presidential candidate, Congressman Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) continues to be a "hot ticket" on nightly newscasts. On Friday, May 25, he is appearing on the Bill Maher program, "Real Time" and sources say that he may also appear on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and maybe The Colbert Report as well.
"The Daily Show seems to be wrapped up," said one source close to the campaign. "They just have to pick a date. Colbert may be happening as well."
The programs, on Comedy Central, have proven most popular in the last few years, spawning a kind of new media genre, "comedy news." The hosts deal with newsworthy topics of interest, and even interview serious newsmakers, but do so in a way that makes light of the news content, treating some or much of it "for laughs."
The programs score especially well with young people. Some polls even seem to indicate that adolescents and young adults receive more information about news and current events from such shows than from more serious venues.
The Daily Show describes itself as follows:
One anchor, five correspondents, zero credibility.
If you're tired of the stodginess of the evening newscasts, if you can't bear to sit through the spinmeisters and shills on the 24-hour cable news networks, don't miss The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, a nightly half-hour series unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity or even accuracy.
The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Daily Show takes a reality-based look at news, trends, pop culture, current events, politics, sports and entertainment with an alternative point of view. In each show anchorman Jon Stewart and a team of correspondents, including Dan Bakkedahl, John Oliver, Rob Riggle, Jason Jones and Samantha Bee and Lewis Black, comment on the day's stories, employing actual news footage, taped field pieces, in-studio guests and on-the-spot coverage of important news events.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - it's even better than being informed. |

I saw Tom Delay on Colbert the other day... and Colbert was kissing Delay's (and Bush's) asses so bad that I had to turn the channel.
I was disgusted... I've never seen Colbert before, I liked him on the Daily Show.... but I mean it just smacked of Bush apologies.... I had to change it.... is Colbert a Bush apologist? |

except he WASN'T kissing anyone's ass. Colbert's humor is Incredibly dry and satirical.
I suggest watching whole shows without any expectations. Just let the tone and his subtle comments zing right around the room. his comments are like daggers.
when you reaslize what he is Really saying they cut deeply!
but you have to pay attention to the things he doesn't quite say.
I believe there is a vid of Colbert and delay on crooks and lyers - watch it several times after you have watched the show in it's entirerty.
trust me. colbert is brilliant |

Indeed :D
It's like when someone fucked up and accidentally invited Colbert to speak at the 2006 annual White House Correspondents Association dinner, thinking he was actually sympathetic to the Bush Administration... :funny:
Yea!! He went over BIG! :rofl:

Hal definitely give colbert another chance...
His humor is totally tongue in cheek as these guys are saying... the whole show was set up to be a mockery of Bill O'Reilly. |
