Colbert is Rude

I don't know, maybe I don't see it as big of a deal as you because Canada's had shows like that for numerous years before the U.S ever did, with The Royal Canadian Air Farce and This Hour has 22 Minutes.

They do the same basic things as the other shows do, except with more of a SNL-feel to it.

The difference between Air Farce/22 Minutes and Colbert/Daily Show is that the Daily show and Colbert Report set themselves up to look like an actual news station. Much like Fox.

I personally think CNN news can get away with "entertainment" too. I actually laughed while watching it last week. I felt bad because of the subject, but the stance on it, I mean.

But just don't take it as news, and you're fine. Because it's not news. If you look to the Daily Show or Colbert Report for news, you might as well go to the McDonald's value meal for healthy living.
