“Now these transcripts, I believe, should not have been leaked,” Colbert said, dutifully. “Bad leaker. Whoever you are, you shouldn’t have done it. But you did, so let’s just keep going.” So he did, starting with Trump telling Pe\u00f1a Nieto that he really doesn’t care about the border wall, up to where “Trump, for some reason, started talking smack about America.” The Turnbull call was bonkers, too, and as rumored, it ended abruptly and poorly. “High-energy Don, Mr. Stamina, one week into his presidency, just gives up,” Colbert said, reciting how Trump told Turnbull his was “the most unpleasant call all day. Putin was a pleasant call<\/em>.”-The Week, August 4, 2017<\/p>\n

Stephen Colbert\u2019s show is among the many late-night shows that do not follow the normal standards of news channels but rather marvelously efficiently accomplishes the same purpose. In fact, as Pedro Lasch briefly mentions in unit 2.1, these shows have become a form of social activism of their own right. For instance, Stephen Colbert\u2019s humor twists, cartoon Donald Trump piece, and invites from diverse professional spheres gives a platform for an open free expression on pressing social issues. Stephen Colbert has so far taken a strong stance against Trump\u2019s anti-immigration policies, the new tax plan, the republican health care plan, worker exploitation and many more social issues in the United States. Stephen Colbert\u2019s poignant remarks and entertaining nature have made his show incredibly popular, and this placed him at a unique position whereby he is now able to clearly affect how people view and react to social issues in the US. At the very least where shows like the Stephen\u2019s Colbert show do not influence direct action on a specific social issue, transcripts like the one above leave one wondering if they are on the right side of the debate\u2026<\/p>\n
