Note: That headline was not intended to be a factual statement. Rather, it is picking up on what Sen. Jon Kyl put down when he vastly overstated the percentage of Planned Parenthood’s budget that goes to providing abortions. To Kyl’s figures, Stephen Colbert retorts: “Over 90 percent—that is unbelievable, in that it is not true.” Burn!

And while he’s talking about the truth-challenged, Colbert takes a good shot at “Fox & Friends” in this insta-classic “Colbert Report” clip.  —KA

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.
