You're not playing by our rules....

I generally like Chuck Todd, but I think this is an example of the inside-out view that the gatekeepers of political discourse have.

After the success of the internet blackout in stopping SOPA, it should be clear to Todd and others that protest in the era of corporate media is going to be unorthodox and uncomfortable - that's the only way it can ultimately work. The media can too easily marginalize traditional protests, so what Colbert is doing is a creative way of showing exactly how screwed up things are.
