CNN's clip of Stephen Colbert's 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner routine, in which he mocks President Bush and the press in character. It was republished on the tenth anniversary.

HN cites it as the source of the line that reality has a liberal bias and as a performance people still find phenomenal.

From his 2006 speech/routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, speaking to then president George Bush: > Now, I know there are some polls out there saying this man has a 32 percent approval rating. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in reality. And reality has a well-known liberal bias... His whole thing was phenomenal: ▶ this video

> Stephen Colbert made the joke "Reality has a well known liberal bias" Video (queued up): ▶ this video It's always pretty depressing to go back and watch this or old Colbert Report episodes and realize how parts are incredibly "evergreen", sometimes you don't even need to change out the names.
