Who is the modern day gadfly/Socrates?

Who is the modern day gadfly/Socrates? A gadfly is a person who is constantly hovering around you and others in an annoying manner provoking you. A gadfly does this through requests, schemes, and criticism. Socrates was a gadfly back in his day. He would spend almost all his time going around Athens poking holes through people’s false beliefs and ideas. He would do this by playing the part of the ignorant and questioning the individual without rest until he got to a question that the people couldn’t answer themselves. The point of this was to force the person to doubt or at least relook at his or her ideas and start thinking about whether or not they are the right ones to have. A modern day gadfly is Stephen Colbert. He invites radical republicans to his show and talks to them until he finds a way to make them slip up and stumble around for an answer to a difficult question. He also pretends to be radically republican himself on the show which is pretty similar to pretending to be ignorant. Another good example of a modern day gadfly would be Michael Moore. His documentaries are about him running around after people in power and asking them difficult questions about why they have done certain things in the past that have hurt many of their employees and other similar scenarios. In his movie about Wal-Mart he goes to the Walton family and asks them how they feel about the thousands of ma and pa businesses they’ve put out of business and why they have such bad pay and benefits for their employees.
