On Stephen Colbert's show this week and I'm sure his cable colleagues are not too happy.

The topic was the Bill Ayers story and the inordinate amount of time it has received on TV this week, considering there are no new facts to be discussed [emphasis added]:

We talk about it because it's not relevant. … We talk about it for a very long time and, we reveal, after the ratings come in to help us out, that we shouldn't be talking about it.

Discuss.
