Fake News, Serious Business

Have they ever watched *any* of Colbert's interviews? I think most of them are pretty weak. Definitely not his best stuff, and like PZ said, neither he or Jon are really "attack dogs" in interviews. So it is a bit silly for people to get so worked up over it. But Pharyngula's whole shtick is pointing out exactly how wrapped up in religious and superstitious thought our culture is; to the point where very few television hosts would ever really question a statement like that about science. So it really is quite an aggressive site. It used to bother me, but now I think that we need that kind of brutal analysis as well as the softer kind of atheism. To every thing there is a season? :P
