Apparently there is a news blackout against Stephen Colbert over his speech at the White House Correspondents Association Dinner last week. No major paper or television network gave Colbert's performance anything but a cursory mention -- a silence that continues to this day. This certainly wasn't the case back in 1996, when radio deejay Don Imus roasted President and First Lady Clinton with a series of off-color jokes. That event made page one of the New York Times and the front page of the Washington Post Style Section.
ActForChange has started a call to action to the mainstream media. You can sign the petition here.
