Stephen Colbert's CBS "Late Show" Will End in May

[GelatinousEndive]

I’ve never seen anything funny from it.

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.

Beat me to it.

"It's possible Trump used his leverage to get CBS to cancel Colbert."
"But I don't think Colbert is funny."
"That's not the point. The point is that it might be honest-to-goodness censorship."
"But...Colbert isn't funny."

[MikoTython]

Its totally fair to diss on Colbert - he is rather monotonously partisan ( but then... consider the material thrown at him), and the show is losing money. But consider the timing, consider the context and consider that

They are cancelling THE PROPERTY, not just Colbert, and when you put in the factors like - CBS throwing 16M at Trump rather than standing against a suit they were certain to win, parent corp Paramount on the threshold of a YUGE merger Trump is in a position to put the kabosh on, the OBVIOUS intimidation & coercion & propitiation at work for anyone with eyes to see (Trump is an omnidirectional intimidator, lets not quibble about that, please), to ignore all THAT context and pretend this is simply a 'financial decision' is beyond disingenuous. It doesn't pass a reasonability smell test.

Letterman was mentioned. He thinks you can't say CBS without the BeeEss, so we know where he stands

Ok, I'm done on this subject Unless something else weird & outrageous & corrupt crops up down the road.

Yeah, you both already said all this. Even the same. gif for your 2-man circle jerk. I guess it wouldn’t be a circle. So a straight line jerk?

Like I said, let’s see what they do with South Park. That’s actually a clever, funny, wildly successful show. They went after Trump harder than Colbert ever has. Will it get cancelled? If so, maybe your point is valid. If not, it seems like you’re both just mad a bout a guy you all like, but not many other people do.

You already said that, DJ. The other guy was rehashing your context-free take, so its been said at least three times, which, as the meme indicates, ignores the real issue which transcends Colber(t) - not that a little censorship/suppression/intimidation/greenmail/oppression seemingly perturbs you, as long as the one getting yanked around is an entity/person/party/institution you apparently assess as beneath deserving of basic fair play, normal (non-coercive, decently/statutorily/constitutionally constrained) order. That's not how anything moral, ethical or legal works in a system actually designed to work sustainably, beyond breaking into the machine's cash box. Which is exactly what is going on, in sum.

Maybe you've heard about what is going on w/ the Universities. Throw that one on the pile, too, for more context, nor is that by any means the last of it.

Now, you want Paramount to be intimidated again and cave, again, w/ South Park, before you'll give what we're seeing happening right in front of us credence. How many times would any reasonable person have to get punched in the nose before deciding it hurts ?
