Entertainment News of the Week

For the week of March 1 to March 6 not a lot of new entertainment media has been shown on broadcast television. However, what has been shown has been enlightening with the unique, signature twists of each comedian that presented it. On Monday, Stephen Colbert opened up The Colbert Report by discussing the current failure of Obama's presidency. According to Colbert, his failure is due to fraudulent Barack Obama Commemorative coins that were advertised by Montel Williams.
