The Economist on Stephen Colbert

From the Economist:

An odd thing about political satire in America is that it is directed nearly as much at the media as at politicians. Headlines in the Onion...would not be so funny if those in the New York Times were not so ponderous. Mr Colbert's show would make no sense if cable-news blowhards such as [Bill] O'Reilly did not exist. The post-modernity of it all was illustrated when Mr O'Reilly actually appeared on “The Colbert Report” and jokingly admitted that his aggressive on-screen persona was “all an act”. Mr Colbert replied: “If you're an act, then what am I?

I must say I love the use of "the post-modernity of it all."
