GAME CHANGER: Slate Has Obtained Footage of Stephen Colbert Making Fun of Rachel Maddow

I am sure that Rachel herself would admit that this is a game changer...

Tonight, Slate is thrilled to announce we’ve obtained video footage of late night host Stephen Colbert spoofing Rachel Maddow’s cynical, reputation-scarring “scoop” from Tuesday night, which we’ll share with you in this very post. But first, a little context. According to Wikipedia, Stephen Tyler Colbert “is an American comedian, television host, and author,” which is why we’re sure that this new video footage—which we’ll present to you shortly—is so historic and important. The Colbert segment is based on a segment that aired on MSNBC Tuesday night, featuring host Rachel Maddow, who started her career as a radio host in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Watching Colbert mimic Maddow’s distinctive diction and gestures—one television host versus another—raises very interesting questions about how much the churn of cable news pushes people to overhype their stories, packing them with unecessary background information to make them seem more important. It’s an issue you’ll no doubt be wondering about once you’ve seen the video for yourself...

1. To be fair and balanced, Colbert has to attack our side sometimes?

Rachel Maddow is simply awesome! The zeitgeist seems to be deducting points for style. As if the dive into the Trump cesspool wasn't perfectly vertical. The degree of difficulty makes up for it though. Sadly, the Russian judge gave her a seven. While the rest of the judges delivered 9.9s.

2. Rachel Maddow isn't "our side". Stop politically polarizing journalism. We've seen what happened

with climate change.

There's nothing wrong with acknowledging when a journalist fumbles the ball.

8. Amen.

3. LOL that was perfection! I can't stop laughing.

That was some straight up perfect comic genius right there. I genuinely laughed my ass off, I love it.

NAILED it.

(and for anyone who gets their panties in a twist over this... c'mon lighten up, imitation/flattery, blah blah. LOL)

Sorry that was just too good. Gotta watch it again.

4. Rachel will handle it. She probably laughed her ass off too.

5. He has her annoying habit of taking forever to get to the point down quite nicely! nt

9. Our thirty-second attention span is convenient for visceral satisfaction

Patience predicated on relevant information can indeed, be rather annoying and difficult for may people.

Our thirty-second attention span is convenient for visceral satisfaction, not so much however, for useful information, citing sources, or critical thought.

I feel your "annoyance," as I too, have little patience for the germane, the pertinent or the well-chosen.

11. Rachel just refused to pronounce the name of a Russian company

because Colbert would make fun of her and she chuckled. She's a big girl who can take a joke.
