Stephen Colbert’s role as the conservative newsman on the Comedy Central hit show, The Colbert Report, was a prime source of news for many millennials. It was also a chief avenue of propaganda for the Clintons years before Hillary ran for president.

Wikileaks revealed on Tuesday that Colbert and his team at Comedy Central were making episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013.

I think President Trump would be well within his authority to establish a dress code for the various areas of the White House. Perhaps guests in the press room could be required to wear Groucho Marx glasses, flip-flops and Spandex biker shorts. Their attire should, after all, be a reflection of their professionalism.

Gosh. The Clintons manufactured “news” ? well smack me dead!

“news” - a neighbor asked me if I watch the news. Like what? I asked. She said she watches Colbert. She has a Bernie sticker on her car.

Probably pimp and prostitute outfits would be more appropriate ... do a quick mental visualization of Mac Daddy and his string!

Colbert was a conservative newsman? He doesn’t have a conservative bone in his body or thought in his head. He’s repulsive and totally not funny.

Colbert and his ilk are REAL perpetrators of “fake news”. Who needs Russians when you have all our home grown media creating their own phony baloney plastic banana “news” aka flat out LIES.

How does Colbert get those people to laugh all the time when what he says is not funny? Does he pay his live audience?

No funny in that guy. All I see is a nasty jackass.

Jackass is way too nice a word for him. He's a lying little scumbag worm.

His ads this week showed him yukking it up with Joe Biden. He’s about as conservative as Khrushchev.

Nikita converted to Christianity in his later years. He came around, at least by that much.
