On 27 September 2010, Steven Colbert talked about the blocking of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell bill that was in Congress and Christine O'Donnell in one of her interviews.
I like the way Steven Colbert puts the news in a funny light, while still reporting the same news as the 24 hour news channels. While I do not think he is trying to report the news in the same way, I believe that he wants to bring out the funny parts of the news.
The first things he makes of fun of in this episode is Christine O'Donnell's interview in 1998 in which she says that evolution is a myth. He was able to make fun of it even more laughable when he related it to babies turning into adults.
He then goes on to the DADT policy. He spitballs new policies such as making gays stay in the closet about being soldiers, instead of being gay.
I think Colbert is very successful about his delivery of the news, and making it laughable at the same time that also displays the news, but it doesn't feel like the news, instead it sounds like a funny time at a comedy show.
