Line 1:
Line 1: − '''''The Colbert Report''''' (pronounced Col-'''bear''' Re-'''pore''') is a late night satirical program hosted by liberal Christian [[Stephen Colbert]] on [[Comedy Central]]. The show stars the character Stephen Colbert, a news anchor who makes many of his jokes [[parody]]ing [[conservative]]s and [[conservative values]]. It is an offshoot of ''[[The Daily Show]]''.+ − − Colbert plays a character who shares his name. Colbert's character is a liberal stereotype of a conservative pundit. Colbert mocks conservatives, particularly Fox News host [[Bill O'Reilly]] and show ''[[The O'Reilly Factor]]'' on his show, He has a guest every episode on the last segment, including authors, activists, and occasionally politicians and political personalities. − − Colbert's interviews are short and almost never serious, where Colbert's character often jokes around and never to the point, making often unrelated jokes and random obvious fallacies. − − Colbert is famous for coining words, most notably ''truthiness'', which states facts are meaningless and one should trust his gut, which was coined to mock conservatives by saying they are unintelligent or unlearned. − − Colbert has also used the show to condone vandalism on [[Wikipedia]] and [[Conservapedia]] on several occasions. − − A book, ''I Am America (And So Can You!)'' was written by Colbert and his writers in the persona of his character in which conservative values are mocked and it is merely a pure extension of Colbert's character. − − A ''Better Know a District'' segment frequent on ''The Report'' is where Colbert will have a congressman from a district appear on the show, and Colbert has had a disproportionate showing by party, having significantly more [[Democrat]]s than [[Republican]]s on the show. − ==See Also== − *[[The Daily Show]] − [[Category:Liberalism]] − [[Category:Television]]
