    A one-minute clip of Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents' Dinner delivering the line that reality has a well-known liberal bias.

    HN uses it to credit the origin of the quip when someone repeats it, sometimes as a joke.

      I think it's only fair to credit Stephen Colbert here: this video For those of you unfamiliar, he was a well-known and serious political pundit who in recent years has been performing as a character (of the same name) who parodies milquetoast late night centre-left almost-comedy.

    2. @tim333Nov 2024· in “Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X”

      By the way, not knowing the history of the reality thing I looked it up - it came from a Colbert joke about W Bush's popularity this video

    3. @hawthornioFeb 2023· in “Princeton CS Prof: ChatGPT Is a Bullshit Generator (2022)”

      ChatGPT suggests factually correct or popular policies… The death penalty is objectively more expensive than life in prison, and the right to abortion is supported by a majority (in the US at least). You’re basically doing [a steven colbert bit]( this video ), but unironically.
