FWIW, Colbert quipping that "reality has a well-known liberal bias" was clearly satirical of conservatives' tendency to trot out the canard of "liberal" bias.

You could just as well say he still agrees with your point about reality comporting more with a progressive understanding of ethics, while at the same time parodying Fox News for incoherently making spurious charges of "liberalism" at every turn.

Invoking Colbert, a well known Democrat partisan, speaks to the problems with this discussion.

Additionally, passionate invocation of "facts", "reality" and "objectively true" should be red flags for any discussion.

I believe Colbert came up with it in the first place.
