With Fewer Viewers Than 'Bad Girls Club, Colbert Is 'Time's' Most Influential

Monday, one of Time’s ‘Most influential People In the World, Stephen Colbert, racked up a total of 1.24 million viewers.

That’s “million” with an “m,” or a “fail.”

So who exactly is Colbert influential with outside of a corrupt media that elevates a low-rated comedian to icon status because he agrees with their speech-policing, left-wing ways?

Rush Limbaugh isn’t on Time’s list. Sean Hannity isn’t. “Pawn Stars” isn’t. “Robot Chicken” isn’t. “Basketball Wives,” “American Pickers,” and “Styled by June” aren’t on the list — and yet they all have more viewers/listeners than Mr. Influential.

And other than influencing the corrupt media to pretend he’s some kind of phenomenon, what exactly did Colbert influence?

Sure, he joined forces with the neo-fascist left and their media allies to attempt to stifle political speech available through super PACs (because using corporate money to further a political agenda is only wrong if it’s not the corporate money that puts Colbert on the air), but that went nowhere.

What a racket.
