I dont think Colbert was there really to sway anyone with his mocking, or to preach, really. He was there to comment. And it was a strong comment. He used humor to surface and show, or demonstrate to those gather for the press club dinner, what they were or maybe were not. They were forced to question their work and power. They were also forced to "get the bit" , which some did not, or denied. So the crickets chirped.
