author: COMEDY CENTRAL – duration: 05:43

Many of you will remember the vile fate of Josh Wolf. Josh, an American video blogger, was jailed by a Federal district court on August 1, 2006 for refusing to turn over a collection of videotapes he recorded during a July 2005 demonstration in San Francisco, California (to see both the published video and the original footage: CLICK HERE). He served 226 days in prison, longer than any other journalist in U.S. history has served for protecting source materials (BBC article: CLICK HERE). He was finally released on April 3, 2007. (New York Times article: CLICK HERE). Now Josh is running for mayor of the city of San Francisco. We hereby show you Josh’s recent appearance on one of the funniest and smartest television shows in the USA, The Colbert Report. Enjoy!
