      Everyone who shared a "Stephen Colbert eviscerates X" link. PLEASE consider this "Gitlin eviscerates Colbert" piece. http://billmoyers.com/story/whats-matter-stephen-colbert/ …pic.twitter.com/WxqnviSqkS

      No, this is also the old Colbert. He may be an amazing person; but politics cannot be outsourced to comedian snark.https://twitter.com/jcenters/status/798963569580769286 …

      "Forget politics, it just divides us", as Stephen Colbert advised is not just irresponsible. It guarantees some outcomes over others.pic.twitter.com/3bLQRAo3vP

      Okay. Still an important moment; maybe comedians have played an outsize political role? Not fair to them either. https://twitter.com/dannagal/status/798969998626717697 …

      Lots of things are broken. Satire crucial in places with censorship. In US context, I often found it depoliticizing. https://twitter.com/dannagal/status/798971925473017857 …

          .@zeynep It's fair when people like Colbert and Stewart were basically the only opposition George W. Bush had in media. Very political role.

          Fair point. I'm not blaming him. It's just the oversize role they've been thrust into with so many failures around.https://twitter.com/maladroitone/status/798975884560568320 …

          Going after Colbert regarding the political temperature is like blaming climate change on polar bears.

          I've been listening to Phil Ochs today as it happens. The satire we need would be aimed at ourselves, not at "destroying" the right.

          Been thinking about and listening to Lehrer a lot lately. Him and The Last Poets. The past has a lot to teach us.

          Tom Lehrer himself acknowledged that his satire, while entertaining, had only the effect of preaching to the choir.
