"Strupp, in the crowd during the Colbert routine, had observed that quite a few sitting near him looked a little uncomfortable at times, perhaps feeling the material was a little too biting--or too much speaking "truthiness" to power."

Colbert and the MSM have tons of problems, but "truthiness" ain't among'em.

To quote Colbert about the word (he made up) Truthiness...

"Truthiness is 'What I say is right, and [nothing] anyone else says could possibly be true.' It's not only that I feel it to be true, but that I feel it to be true. There's not only an emotional quality, but there's a selfish quality."

In essence, Dan Rather's documents are a good example of 'Truthiness'.
