Colbert To Jim Lehrer: "How Do We Know What's Important...If You're Not Yelling At Your Guests?"...
Eat The Press :
PBS's Jim Lehrer was Stephen Colbert's guest tonight on "The Colbert Report" and they had a fun, slightly jokey segment where Lehrer joked that he'd "gotten rid of" McNeil, joked that at PBS "We don't care if anybody watches," and confirmed to Colbert that he did, in fact, vote (Lehrer: "Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't." Colbert: "You just don't tell people." Lehrer: "It's none of their business.") Colbert said that was "wishy-washy" and Lehrer responded: "I'm wishy-washy for a living, sir." (This confused Colbert, who wondered "How do we know what's important in a newscast if you're not yelling at your guests?")
Colbert then asked Lehrer about whether he was biased in the clip below.
