Oyuncu · d. 1943 · Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
Joseph Robert Kerrey (born August 27, 1943) is an American politician who served as the 35th governor of Nebraska from 1983 to 1987 and as a United States Senator from Nebraska from 1989 to 2001. Before entering politics, he served in the Vietnam War, as a United States Navy SEAL officer and was awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery in combat. During the action for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor, he was severely wounded, precluding further naval service. He later faced controversy for being the commanding officer during the Thanh Phong raid, where numerous civilians were killed. Kerrey was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992. He retired from the Senate in 2000 and was replaced by former governor and fellow Democrat Ben Nelson. From 2001 to 2010, he served as president of The New School, a university in New York City. In May 2010, he was selected to become the head of the Motion Picture Association of America. The MPAA, however, could not reach an agreement with him and chose former Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd instead. In 2012, Kerrey sought election to his old Senate seat to succeed his successor, the retiring Democratic incumbent Ben Nelson. He lost to Republican nominee Deb Fischer. In 2013, Kerrey joined the Carmen Group lobbying firm. Kerrey is a co-chair for the advisory board of Issue One, an organization that describes its mission as "fighting for real solutions to the problem of money in politics". In 1987, Kerrey was elected to the Common Cause National Governing Board.

Dizi7.0HaberKomediColbert Raporu, Pazartesi ile Perşembe günleri Komedi Merkezi'nde yayınlanan Amerikan hicivli bir gece televizyon programı. Jon Stewart ile The Daily Show'un eski muhabiri olan politik mizahcı Stephen Colbert'i canlandırıyor. Colbert Raporu, politikaya ve medyaya benzer şekilde yorum yapan The Daily Show'dan bir ve ikiye bölündü. Özellikle Fox News'in The O'Reilly Factor adlı muhafazakar kişiliğe dayalı politik pundit programlarını hicvediyor. Gösteri, gerçek hayat isimleriyle oynanan Stephen Colbert adlı kurgusal bir çapa karakterine odaklanıyor. Colbert tarafından “iyi niyetli, iyi bilgilendirilmiş, yüksek mevkili bir aptal” olarak tanımlanan karakter, televizyonda siyaset uzmanlarının karikatürüdür. Colbert Raporu her biri 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 ve 2012'de yedi Primetime Emmy Ödülü, iki Televizyon Eleştirmenleri Derneği Ödülü ve iki Uydu Ödülüne aday gösterildi. 2013 yılında iki Emmys kazandı. Tom DeLay Legal Defence Trust ve Robert Wexler'ın programa verdiği röportajı takiben birçok örnekte hicivsiz bir gazetecilik olarak sunuldu. Söz konusu rapor, 17 Ekim 2005'te Colbert'in “hakikat” terimini, söz konusu yayınevini Merriam-Webster'ın 2006 Yılı Kelimesi olarak adlandırdığı ilk filmi izleyerek, medyada önemli ölçüde yer aldı.

Dizi5.6HaberTalk ShowToday is a daily American morning television show that airs on NBC. The program debuted on January 14, 1952. It was the first of its genre on American television and in the world, and is the fifth-longest running American television series. Originally a two-hour program on weekdays, it expanded to Sundays in 1987 and Saturdays in 1992. The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000, and to four hours in 2007. Today's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until the late 1980s, when it was overtaken by ABC's Good Morning America. Today retook the Nielsen ratings lead the week of December 11, 1995, and held onto that position for 852 consecutive weeks until the week of April 9, 2012, when it was beaten by Good Morning America yet again. In 2002, Today was ranked #17 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest Television Shows of All Time.
