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'.

Yeah, when I made the comment about Colbert and the MSM
not exhibiting "truthiness" I meant it in the sense of being connected to the truth. Obviously, truth has very little to do with what they report or fantasize about.

I get Comedy Central and have seen Colbert but have never paid much attention. He sounds like a Dim political hack who uses a thinly veiled comedy routine to peddle his fantasies.
