In a rare move, “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert gave Fox News credit during his monologue on Thursday night.
Colbert jokingly said the conservative network is a 24-hour news channel that sometimes creates news and outrage on slow news days.
“I want to salute their ability to just invent outrage out of absolutely nothing on a slow news day,” Colbert said. “They done it again. They dug down deep and tossed aside any last scraps of journalistic integrity and yanked out a new dumb thing to pretend to be mad at.”
Colbert said because he also needs content to talk about, he will pretend to be mad at Fox News for them pretending to be mad at Legos for introducing new diverse characters.
