Censorship

Stephen Colbert supports freedom in all its forms, and so nothing is more anathema to him than the violation of one of America's most fundamental freedoms: the freedom of speech. Colbert's opposition to censorship is so extreme that he refuses to be constrained by Comedy Central's (already loose) decency standards: On the rare occasion Stephen chooses to use foul language, he actually vocalizes a monotone "bleep" noise that, to unsuspecting viewers, is indistinguishable from television censorship.
