offended as a professional practitioner of actual comedy to hear this guy say, no, i m a comedian, don t judge me. well, you know, i don t know if i qualify as a professional comedian. according to the new york times, i am a disinformation purchase rayer that does so under the guise of satire. i m not a brilliant professional comedian like colbert or seth myers or amy schumer or trevor noah. tucker: oh, come on. now you re being mean, joe berry. i think, you know, i say this with sadness because, you know, colbert has been brilliant in the past, the colbert show was brilliant and he has become a political operative and i think it s reflective of what s happened in the wider culture that the left kind of invades and infects institutions that have built up trust and good will over decades, sometimes centuries, and uses them as a platform and a mouth piece for their agenda and that s what
