Cultural Object

I think that the colbert report is good for our culture, because not only is it an entertaining comedy it also gives important news information too people that do not watch the news. I like to watch it because it helps me to learn about important topics without having to watch the news. On the colbert report Steven Colbert brings up major topics that are going on throughout the country. For example in one of his recent episodes he showed himself going to Washington D.C. to start a "Super Pac" to get donations for the upcoming national election. This allows people to donate money to the republican campaign, and during his show he has a ticker at the bottom of the screen of people that have donated to the Super Pac. When you see all the names that go by you can see the impact Steven Colbert has on the american public. Some people claim that it is just making fun of politics and should not be allowed to air such content on tv.
