Even woke leftists know CNN is anything but an objective broadcaster of news.

During Monday night's broadcast of "The Late Show," host Stephen Colbert was talking with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, and he told her: "I know you guys are objective over there, that you just report the news as it is."

And that's when the studio audience burst into laughter.

"Was that supposed to be a laugh line?" Collins wondered with a smile.

"It wasn't supposed to be, but I guess it is," Colbert responded impishly.

Brent Baker of the Media Research Center tweeted: "Not even NYC lefties buy CNN as objective."

Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA noted: "Even liberals know CNN is functionally a Democrat super PAC."

Other commenters indicated:

"That was hilarious, even the woke crowd knows."

"An actual journalist would be embarrassed by this but not @kaitlancollins, she takes pride in the fact people know she works for a propagandist organization."

"These people like @kaitlancollins need to be laughed out of the room every time they open their mouth… "Was that supposed to be a laugh line?' Your career as a 'journalist' is a laugh line. "

"The fact that 'news anchors' are treated as celebrities, tells you everything you need to know."

"This clip epitomizes the decline of late-night 'comedy' shows: @colbertlateshow trying to make a political argument, and then cringes when his audience laughs! Even his trained seal viewers know that @CNN is fake news."

"Somehow Kaitlan Collins never learned the difference between being a journalist and Democrat fan girl. She may be the very worst of the faux journalists on @CNN. And that's no small feat. CNN having her do the rounds on the late-night talk show to see if they can salvage her failing show. Doubt it will help. Look for her 'departure' from CNN shortly after the election. Maybe Don Lemon has an opening."
