[lbo-talk] Re:stewart and colbert

[Arash]

It's kind of comforting that enough people get the joke of the right-wing
news personality to sustain a television show based solely around that
premise.   I hope it's a sign that these obnoxious newscasters, to use their
phrase, are out of touch with the mainstream.  I agree Colbert's parody is
very entertaining and well-crafted, I think it offers a lot more than the
Daily Show does.

"I'm a regular watcher of the Daily Show and I usually watch a few 
minutes of the Colbert Report..."( chuckO )

suggestion: if you can only watch one, try colbert...

no puff interviews, at all...in fact, his interviews are always pointedly
funny, even when the guest is selling a book or film...and he rarely - if
ever - sinks to getting laughs about  matters of
pain-violence-death-hypocrisy committed by others and not us ...

 of course, he supports all our wars and  excesses and generally scores,
heavily, by acting like a fox personality on acid and never breaking
character...

stewart is good and the writing and supporting cast on the show is often
inspired, but i find colbert's wit, performance and the writing a cut
above...

he should be on before the daily show...

comments?
