Good for you. I gave up after the first page.

I have experience as an activist. If you choose to be an activist and
you are not certain that your cause is just or right, then you are a
fool and you will not have the grit and commitment to succeed when
facing your better-funded opponents. On the other hand, if you are an
activist and you are so convinced that you are right and anybody who
disagrees with your slogans, strategy, or tactics is a sellout and is
as evil as your opponents, you will end up sitting in a room with
three other people who agree with you and the extent of your activism
will be to complain about how everybody sucks.

A writer can claim that Stewart and Colbert are not worthy of their
accolades and why not? Stewart and Colbert are not responsible for the
accolades (I mean they are not in control of that) so to deem them
unworthy is fair and not an attack on their work. To denigrate their
work because they work for a corporation and therefore whatever they
write is compromised goes too far.
