NBC's Chuck Todd lit into Stephen Colbert on Thursday, accusing the Comedy Central host of corrupting the political process with his presidential run and Super PAC in South Carolina.
...
"What is his real agenda here?" he said. "Is it to educate the public about the dangers of money and politics, and what's going on? Or is it simply to marginalize the Republican Party? I think if I were a Republican candidate I would be concerned about that."
The successful Republican efforts to strike down anti-corruption laws is what has corrupted the political process, not Steven Colbert. Corporate personhood and decisions such as Citizens United have led to government by the Koch brothers instead of government by the people. Chuck Todd, being a right-wing tool, and his employer, being the corporate media, would rather accept the billions of dollars in ad revenue they get from the current arrangement than report the truth. So it's no wonder he's upset that Colbert is pointing it out.
