    Colbert is a jackass, so I'm not surprised to see you quote him. Are you even aware how ridiculously skewed the ABC/Washington Post job approval poll really is? They over-sampled Democrats by a generous +12 margin.

    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

    • Breitbart eviscerates the poll and its methodology. Read this and you quickly realize what a sham the poll is.

        I'm reminded that you think comedians are legitimate news sources.

          I'm not sure you've got a good grasp of how this works. A lot of comedy shows show short clips of a story from a news network before proceeding to poke fun at the story and/or the news network. Other times the comedian simply references a known recent story and proceeds to the comedy.

          In your imagination, do I never get any news from non-comedy sources?

            That's a pretty ironic quote coming from the same Stephen Colbert that has been caught, several times, editing interviews and quotes of his political opponents to make them look/sound stupid. You would think if it was true that 'reality has a well-known liberal bias' that there would be no need for him to do that. Hum... imagine that?

              You don't seem to understand the difference between polling predictions, i.e. who will win a election, and what people think of a particular political figure? Trump took office with the lowest approval rating of any incoming president; he now has the lowest approval rating of any president at the 100-day mark.

                Comedians are not the source of news, that's not their role. But they are legitimate commentators of the political scene, often illuminating what's going on more effectively than the bare facts themselves can.

                  Especially while Trump is president. While the facts say a lot about the tragedy of the situation, we need the comedian to be able to deal with it.

                    Like Aristotle said if you can write a tragedy you also have the skills to write a comedy.

                      Sure! If we don't laugh we cry.

                        It's almost like data annoys you because you prefer your imaginary views to reality.
                        You have been exposed over and over for misusing data to show conclusion that just are not true.
