Oh seriously, get over yourself.

If you think this was some premium content that is only getting cancelled cause of TrUmP, then your self righteous, “critic” shtick holds even less weight with me. And that’s saying something, belie me.
This has nothing at all to do with the content of Colbert's show. He was #1 in his time slot.

The options are A) he was too expensive for the dying network or B) his bosses succumbed to political pressure.

In neither case is it relevant whether you personally find him funny. But it is telling that your gut reaction to claims of censorship is to check your feelings to see if agree with the message (allegedly) being censored.
His show lost $40 million a year.

He is not funny. He is a preaching bore who makes himself the center of his show rather than guests, and invites too many unfunny/uninteresting

So what, he is the biggest late night host on broadcast tv. Yeah, the tallest midget at the Little People’s convention.

Gutfield rakes in a LOT more $.

But the worst thing about Colbert is they chose *him* of all people to replace Letterman. Letterman. Colbert.

It doesn’t compute.
