Amazing piece of satire on Super PAC and the candidate not being allowed to coordinate.


Investigative journalism is dead in this country.

DM,

May be the real thing- Super PACs and their Ads, the real candidates and their gaffes -Romney's "corporations are people too", Perry and Ron Paul's many comedic performances..not to mention Gingrich's openly racist statements are so ridiculous, political satire falls short, seems repetitive and not so funny anymore (to me).

I am not sure if the most shrewd political junkies..can even differentiate what is real and what is not.. in the Ad wars, it's info overload.And almost all journalists in the US seem to have their paid agendas (right or left leaning).

Wish there was one woman candidate like- Hillary,Sarah, or Michelle make it interesting..even for political satire! Even the SNL skits are dull.

You are looking at it differently. I am not saying it is humorous or anything like that. Nor am I looking to trivialize the issue.

But to break down the process of Super-PAC and loopholes in election finance laws, like this takes a lot of brains and ingenuity.

None of main stream media is capable of doing this.

The new Cobert Super PAC ad attacks.. Colbert! notably for hiding the "t" in his name.

This is hilarious. Watch out for the responsibility statement at the end of the ad.

That Daily Show piece did more to expose the ridiculousness of Citizens United and the subsequent Super PAC madness than all of network and cable news shows / channels put together. If I had millions for a Super PAC, I would simply air that piece in 9 minute paid spots throughout the election season.
