Self promoter Branson and COMEDY CENTRAL “news” guy?

Sounds more like a PR campaign stunt than a real confrontation sparked by anger.

We ARE talking about it, aren’t we?

And only a liberal would retaliate likewise.

You post was observant. Like they say there is no such thing as bad publicity. This may well have been a stunt dreamed up by Colbert and Branson. Note there would be nearly ZERO free press for Branson’s new airline absent the controversy. But here we are.

Yep.

Colbert gets a "rep" for a tune-in factor, and Branson gets to have everybody asking "why wouldn't Colbert let you talk about your new, low-cost airline?

I notice they try to look like they attack both sides, but in reality only attack Republicans. For example they will go into a 2 minute tirade about how stupid a republican christian policy positions are, and try to point out alleged hypocricy in the positions.. then for 10 seconds make fun of a Democrat’s hair. See they made fun of both parties.

Between this and the graphics/text reference to Karl Rove as "Turd Blossom" on MSNBC Olberman (sp?) yesterday...

ARE THE 14 - 19 YR OLD DEMOGRAPHICS REALLY WHO THESE CHANNELS/SHOWS ARE AFTER FOR THEIR TARGET AUDIENCE???

And anyone who actually saw this and believes it wasn’t completely staged needs their head examined.....

They’re both laughing as they’re doing it, trying to trump each others’ ego, and shake hands almost immediately after....
