I can watch John Oliver a lot more easily than Stephen Colbert. Oliver at least does his homework, presents facts, and produces episodes on issues that actually matter to him. Colbert just seems like the democrat equivalent of Fox News... putting a leftish spin on whatever issue crosses his desk without any regard for journalism. Even when he speaks on lefty issues that I care about, he seems disingenuous. Like he’s just trying to get brownie points for being progressive. I think he’s so scared of being lumped in with other white men he just goes along ideologically with whatever the lefty zeitgeist tells him to do. His interviews with people of color are like pulling teeth for me to watch. He’s trying to pander to them, but you can tell he doesn’t actually understand racism or black experience with any depth. He is looking for the “right” thing to say without necessarily caring why it’s right or wrong. It’s awkward because someone like Jay-Z doesn’t care if you pander to him. He’s dealing with actual politics and actual discrimination and I think people like that are often insulted when someone like Colbert comes at them with the “look at this, aren’t I saying right things?” song and dance.
