News(Busters) Flash!

Nothing gets past our Tim … whoops, not that Tim … Tim Graham of Newsbusters:

... a new study suggests "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central has a strong tilt to the left, despite its faux-conservative host Stephen Colbert.

Really. This is not from The Onion. These NewsBusters guys are Very Serious. From their About page (emph. added):

Welcome to NewsBusters, a project of the Media Research Center (MRC), the leader in documenting, exposing and neutralizing liberal media bias.

In August of 2005, with the guidance of Matthew Sheffield and Greg Sheffield, the creators of RatherBiased.com, the MRC launched the NewsBusters blog to provide immediate exposure of liberal media bias, insightful analysis, constructive criticism and timely corrections to news media reporting.

And they're just now figuring out The Colbert Report?

Heckuva job, Timmmmmmmehhhh.

NO! I absolutely HATE Colbert because of the way he sucks up to the right wing! Why, during the primaries, he was against McCain for being too moderate. Now he's calling for Obama to concede. How could they SAY THAT? I guess they are sharper than me if this news is true.
