LOL: Ex-NPR CEO Says Stephen Colbert Spoke Truth to Power In a 'Very Bipartisan Way'!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/20/2025 12:26:27 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

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!

See? This is the kind of humor that could have saved Colbert’s show.

This is the democrat power of doublethink.
doublethink is the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs simultaneously and accept both as true.
They are insane swine.

Most comical statement. Colbert should use it. Even his liberal audience would burst laughing 😂

The left happily lies to us. They also lie to themselves and are delusional.

NPR person: Why, he’s no more biased than I am.

"Speak Truth to Power."

Socialist doublespeak. They love speaking 'truth' to the 'power' they want to undermine and overthrow. They're not so tolerant when someone on the other side is as 'courageous' as Colbert and speaks truth to them.

Every time there is an “EX-” next to a person from government/nonprofit/NGO, another angel gets its wings.

Zero self awareness. Totally blind to her own bias. It’s amazing how obtuse the “reality based community” is.

They can both tell their stories on the soup line.

We can get the truth worth of these two when they start producing their own shows and streaming them on a platform. Let’s see if they can turn a profit on Tic Tok.

We are obviously dealing with a hydra of a democrat party.
Got the delusional.
...the outright liars
...grifters along for the ride
...race hustlers
...Islam pretending to be for the American disaffected people (who consider America another step to world domination)
...certifiable schizo’s, bipolar, and other forms of mental disease
...ultra greenies who put bacteria on the same level as humans...
Professional pols, who will change any position to get votes..
outright traitors...
violent, murderous ideologues...
That is the democratic party of today...
