On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, former NPR president and CEO Vivian Schiller, commenting on the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show, said:
"Stephen Colbert is unafraid to speak truth to power. He does it in a very bipartisan way over the years. And comedy and parody is [sic] an important part of a democratic ecosystem. "
Yes, so bipartisan that, as NewsBuster Alex Christy has reported, in the first half of 2025, Colbert hosted 14 partisan officials, more than any of the other daily late-night comedy shows. All 14 were Democrats, none were Republicans.
When it came to journalists and celebrities, Colbert again led all hosts with 29. All 29 were liberals--zero conservatives.
It don't git no more bipartisan than that!

Coal Burt.
He was an anti-Trump Republican Conservative hater.
Colbert is as biased as they come.
Stoopid too.
It is bipartisan. Democrats and Socialists.
What parties, Bolsheviks vs Mensheviks?
Bipartisan means agreeing with Dems.
Guffaw!
Yes, Colbert did fairly cover BOTH sides of all political issues - the looney, left-wing side AND the completely unhinged communist side. Is there another side?
/s
That’s because they’re of satan.
Pretty much
Pfffffft! He was neither bipartisan nor funny.
Thinking and talking idiotic crap like that is more proof that NPR should never get another dime from us.
Delusional.
“””Bipartisan.
They keep using that word.”””
They mean both liberals and democrats.
OMG - more proof the people - past and present - of NPR are out of touch idiots....
Late Night is dying because it is partisan one way for all of them. They are basically democrat mouth pieces who have run off Republicans, Conservatives, and Independents. When you run off 2/3 of your potential audience, this is what you get.
CBS is at fault because they picked him and knew what he was all about before he got the job. They wanted the one-sided coverage and celebrated it till it came back to bite them.
especially in a dying industry. The other late night lefties should polish up their resumes.
It is dying because of this. After Leno, everybody else have been complete partisan hacks. That is the main reason the viewership is down.
