I used to love Colbert back on The Daily Show… WH Correspondent’s Dinner hosting was legendary… then he got tapped for the network show and it looked to me like his progressive mask came right off. Turned out he was just a liberal all along and I didn’t realize at that time what that meant.
Don’t you see? His speech there lives on!
But, listen, let’s review the rules. Here’s how it works. The President makes decisions. He’s the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Just put 'em through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration? You know, fiction!
He’s just relaying its content by way of demonstration now.

Took me a while to learn MSE.
we need a stephen colbert for the center-left
John Oliver is the closest we have to that
there’s a young man working a talk show podcast out of new york city who just might have what it takes
no not that one
this one?
The Millenial Jon Stewart, they’re calling him

Thank
John Oliver basically moved to the US so he could still pretend to be centre-left. If a prominent soc-dem shift in the Democratic party happens he’ll probably move to Israel to keep it going.
That’s kind of what Sam Seder is
Sam needs to ease up on the cee-baa-enn it’s making him sleepy
Sam also needs to go back to Bobs Burgers
i literally found out about that when i was wondering why the VA for Bob was doing their intro
then happy to find out most of the older, weirder part of Adult Swim animated shows were made by lefties (home movies, venture bros, tim & eric, metaloclypse, eric andre?)
Lee Camp. I’m pretty sure he’s a proper socialist though. His show is called Unredacted Tonight.
ugh no
Not a fan?

I’ve seen it theorised that mamda would’ve asked to be asked, so he has a chance to speak directly to the boomers who actually watch shows like this. I wouldn’t believe it except it was honestly such a ridiculous non-sequiter that it seems over the top even for the hysterical lib media
That would kinda make sense in a way because the way it came out was so odd
Liberals have been defending this saying Colbert talked this over with Zohran before hand and was just giving him questions that would be asked by the media anyway as well as giving him a platform to answer these accusations.
Either this is a lie or Colbert’s brain is fried, because he was wording it in the same loaded “does the state of Israel have a right to exist?” with zero critical engagement. Colbert was indistinguishable from whatever typical zio could ask that question except for his affectation of empathy to Mamdani. If that’s what being an ally is, then it’s indistinguishable from being an enemy who has a trace of good faith.
Sounds like cope.
I saw that too, Sam Seder was talking about that being a possibility. And to be honest I can kinda see it, only old people watch Colbert, Mamdani going on his show and clearing up the lies about his antisemitism (and proving he’s a zionist 🤢) was “good” PR to get some votes in
proving he’s a zionist 🤢
Maybe it’s cope but my feeling is that he calculated his answers to answer very loaded questions without supporting Zionism as such.
When Colbert asks if Israel has a right to exist, Mamdani says all countries do. When asked about antisemitism, Mamdani says hate in general is bad and he plans to increase funding against hate crimes - by which he could mean protecting vulnerable minorities in general, rather than dogwhistling Zionism which wouldn’t make sense given other things he has said.
I stopped watching after about 15 minutes though, so maybe he said something else that I missed.
I could see it, too. I doubt these interviews are that authentic. I was Laos against Stephen for the way he did the interview, but I’ve changed my mind and am with Sam Seder’s theory now.
were those ADL letters fake?
Whether I’m the dark or in the light, shit always smells.
