I enjoyed watching Stephen Colbert when he was on the Colbert Report. He had a great persona while preserving truth. Ever since he went to the late show he changed significantly for the worse in my opinion. He became much more of a propaganda tool. I dislike when fun characters are turned into such tools. It's just my opinion. Nobody's gonna breaka my stride.
- nh23423fefe 6mo agoYou are saying he changed. But are you confusing a character for the person? You say he preserved truth as 'Colbert' but literally that character lied all the time.
- Bender 6mo agoI am saying that he used parodies of a persona to make humor out of truthful situations but after the move he was just a tool. Perhaps still funny to some but there is no confusion on my part. This is of course my opinion which I am entitled to. Others are entitled to their opinions as well.

Pure coincidence, times have changed, we live in propaganda time now, blatant, unscrupulous, subversive. All media and public figures got pulled into the whirlwind. Colbert isn't much of a propagandist, with regard to truth and propaganda almost everyone else is worse than him, there's absolutely no reason to single him out. In absolute terms he could do better, but in the light of nobody being better than him, that's not the issue, the issue is that the already twisted media space will definitely lose from his departure. The way he was pushed out is quite instructive and points to a rather bleak media future.
