Kurtz seems oddly incognizant that Colbert is a comedian.

He chides Colbert that "even fake commentators should have standards".

Well, if anyone knows what it takes to be a fake commentator, Colbert should bow to this man's considerable expertise at it.

Methinks he doth protest too much over a comedian. Of course Colbert is going to slant it for a comedic effect. It's a freaking comedy show it's not an alleged news program. Colbert is under no obligation to be "fair and balanced" whatsoever.

Kurtz has no credibility now. When Colbert gets done with him he won't be able to go out in public without people pointing at him and laughing.
