Media Swooning Over Colbert’s Farewell Says … Everything

Avengers like Ant Man can shrink to the size of an insect or smash anything in sight like The Hulk.

But wait … Stephen Colbert is an Avenger of sorts, too!

So says USA Today, part of the Legacy Media’s fawning farewell tour for Colbert and his hard-Left “Late Show” showcase.

Tonight marks the final new episode of the late-night series. Tomorrow, a cheaper, less divisive program takes its slot – “Comics Unleashed.”

Colbert has been a consequential pop culture figure, no doubt. To read the Legacy Media’s tributes to him suggests something … superheroic.

Hardly.

But no one handles politics with the reassuringly smiling delivery of Colbert. He’s like Errol Flynn as Robin Hood, but in a dapper suit, mocking his daunting opponents while keeping his swashbuckler grin intact.
