Colbert Report. This guy is great. But I haven't seen his new show, cancelled digital cause I never watch it. Are you hip to this buzz about the Pres Bush roast the other night? A good example of the digital divide. Most of the media only showed that dufus imitation dude mimicking Bush but actually Colbert was the MAIN entertainer and he ripped Bush and the assembled media for all they were worth. "If less government is best government then we're doing great in Iraq"
Apparently he got hardly any laughs because everbody was terrified to do so. The mainstream press barely mentioned him for the same reason. In the websphere, all the blogs were a buzz with how funny he was and courageous and over the last couple of days the Washington Post, NY Times, other biggies user feedback sections were flooded with complaints, accusations, and the like over how the press has just rolled over to Bush. Like 90% of comments were flaming the mainstream press for ignoring him.
Two cultures, two information outlets. Two points of view. the old guard is falling. National newspaper circ. fell again last year 2.5%
