89. truthiness
The stenographic slugs pretending to be reporters have to look in the mirror and know they've not only been exposed, but that they are the butt of satirical humor. Colbert hammered at the root cause of what's gone wrong in America, especially now that the fourth estate has become a fifth column. What passes itself off as news is nothing more than what Pravda TAAS and Izvestia did in the defunct Soviet Union. We have become what we hated in the Cold War. State/corporate controlled news has replaced the free press. Those who count the votes determine election results. Soon most will be working for the same pay, minimum wage. News for profit, be it monetary or favorable legislation, is really fake news. Colbert and Comedy Central as well as Keith Olbermann are the only TV broadcast news venues that regularly criticize the naked em porer. I stopped watching all news during the corporate news driven impeachment of the last duly elected leader of the free world. Newscasters on all the channels were practically drooling over Clinton's lying about a consensual blowjob.
The second hand excuse for a human being now occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue started a war predicated on deliberate lies and all these jerk off reporters can do is cover his miserable ass.
So let's see: getting your dick sucked is a crime, but being a lying scumbag and war profiteer is good.
We need a national strike where everyone who gives a shit stays home from work one day a week. Treasury looting is as un-American as war profiteering.
Our pResident is a nut.
