Default the truthiness about bush - 05-01-2006, 01:19 PM

http://blogs.citypages.com/ctg/2006/04/ ... hiness.asp

(2 parts of video on link, other is one youbtube somewhere)

Thought I'd post for those who haven't seen it, Bush doesn't know whether to squirm or call secuirty, most of the audience ain't laughin either, awkward silences galore, hah

To bad the media isn't covering what Colbert did. Most of the blogs are saying how it just reminds them how much of a shitty job they've been doing..Good for Colbert though.

I'm talking about CNN here. A larger medium that reaches a broader auidence then editor and publisher. Haven't found anything on reuters, associated press the large media outlets that produce print. Editor and publisher is the only company to produce reports..These are the only two I found. I guess if you can show that I am wrong by providing something from a well known outlet..

you know what, you're right, most of the mainstream news sources don't have much about it. They basically all just posted an AP article that only has one paragraph about Colbert. The paragraph was a quote from Colbert that depicted how pointed his jokes were, they jsut didn't say anything else about it. Then again, I don't think it's a very big deal, but you'd think people would be pointing it out to laugh at Bush

No, i don't see irony. Colbert took it too far and insulted the President to his face, it was a ridiculously awkward speech to watch. I can't beleive Colbert thought it would be ok to basically insult the President to his face at what is supposed to be a light hearted event. There's a time and place for that, and it's not at the correspondents dinner....

I'm not going to argue with you on this because the issues Colbert brought up speak for themselves and what he said, no matter how you look at it was none the less the truth. If you think he was out of line, well maybe your fine with your media bedding with the government...I'm done with this thread.

It was truth? Just because someone says something that you agree with politically doesn't mean it's fact..Almost everything he said had opposite sides to it that you could argue.

It just wasn't the place to bring it up, it was inappropriate. He already ridicules conservatives on his show, why does he have to do it to the President's face at a dinner that isn't supposed to be political in that sense.

And what does this have to do with the "media bedding with the government?" are you kidding me? most of the media is liberal, most television shows and newspapers are leftist, the only thing you can argue about the media being conservative is the fact that Fox news is watched more than any of all of the liberal channels combined and the dominance of conservatives in talk radio. All this media shit is just that, shit. You have got to be crazy if you think the media favors the current president...
