Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In satire, truthiness is a ''truth'' that a person claims to know intuitively "from the gut" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts. American television comedian Stephen Colbert revealed this definition as the subject of a segment called "The Wørd" during the pilot episode of his political satire program The Colbert Report on October 17, 2005. By using this as part of his routine, Colbert satirised the misuse of appeal to emotion and "gut feeling" as a rhetorical device in contemporary socio-political discourse. He particularly applied it to U.S. President George W. Bush''s nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court and the decision to invade Iraq in 2003. Colbert later ascribed truthiness to other institutions and organizations, including Wikipedia.
