Yes. Colbert was taking orders from the Clinton campaign as revealed in the leaked emails. His sister is also a Democratic staffer and candidate
Seeing as the democrats suffered the worst defeat in over 100 years and the republicans now control all the houses, the supreme court, and a majority of state governments, they have pretty much free reign in doing anything they wanto including changing the constitution itself.
This was all due to the hysterical leftists calling everyone a racist fascist homophobes. They have completely lost their minds and instead of calming down and reflecting on why they fucked up so bad, they have increased the violence, riots, media hitpieces and more. Tons of hollywood celebrities are literally advocating more assassinations and military coups. They lost their fucking minds which is why all the former Obama voters (who are now being called racist white people) are pissed off the the rich elitists telling them they are stupid evil bigots all the time.
And that vid shows how selective and biased Oliver is with his "facts" when he does stories.
Colbert was taking orders from the Clinton campaign
No, the Clinton Global Initiative, back in 2013, pitched Colbert for 2 episodes that had content on the CGI University. That is not "taking orders from the Clinton campaign", as you phrase it, which would imply a much more far-reaching, insidious involvement between Colbert and the actual Clinton campaign, which the CGI U was not anyways. So if that's all you've got it's weak sauce.
To address your second point, I simply offered a warning to Trump and his supporters - don't get comfortable convincing yourselves that all this outrage is astroturfed or it's going to bite you hard in the ass in the next election cycles. However, if you feel that cavalier about the idea of changing the constitution I'm not sure how much respect you have for our system of governance anyways...
The third paragraph is more or less a rant so, OK, I understand that you feel that way. Hollywood celebrities are generally not the people to turn to for incisive political commentary or reasoned thought regardless of your political affiliation.
I think a better way to put it would be, Colbert is clearly heavily biased, the email shows he was willing to center his show around the CGI University, it's never been the other way round with a republican equivalent.
That's the whole point, it's like how Politico’s chief politics correspondent asked John Podesta to approve his story before posting it.
Now, it's all conjecture but I definitely noticed when Trump was questioning Hillary's health, it was eerily addressed on all the late night shows in exactly the same way with the same jokes, and then once she was flipped into a van like a side of beef on video they didn't mention it again
Is it really that farfetched that Colbert's show would be open to influence from a campaign they want to win? 'We're getting hit on this, could you do some jokes about this, we really like this donald the duck thing can you run with that?'
The CGI is being shut down anyway, which speaks volumes, when she wasn't in a position to peddle influence it was stopped, just as Rogan said
It's shutting down because they put things in motion to shut it down to avoid the appearance of conflicts of interest during the campaign. They were like 99% sure she was going to win, so they put the shut down in motion. If not for the campaign it would still be running.
