Great. Haven't watched tv for a long time. Who else can go? |
Colbert gets under Trump’s skin, and he likes to tweet against him. The owner of the network needs federal government approval for a merger with another company. The network recently agreed to settle a case with Trump for $16m for the most ridiculous case ever - that 60 Minutes edited an interview with K. Harris and that harmed Trump somehow. Doesn’t even pass the giggle test and would have been thrown out of any court. It was understood that the $16m was to ensure the merger went through. Colbert (and plenty of others) called it out for being a bribe on air. All of a sudden this show is cancelled (remember the merger hasn’t gone through yet). Do the math. |
Donald, is that you? (How awesome would it be if he scrolled dcum and posted here? If anyone knows him, please turn him onto dcum.) |
OMG that would be fantastic. You know he would Not be able to Resist Posting and Would give Himself away with his Unique writing style. |
Disgusting how quickly companies are just bowing down to fascism.
Get ready for state run propaganda tv 24/7. I’m hoping this backfires for CBS and Patamount in a big way. |
They only paid Colbert $16,000,000 per year. |
I don’t know anyone under 75 that watches tv anymore, but why cancel this show and not any other? It’s trump. Big king baby shook his rattle. |
+1 Right as Trump cancels Big Bird. |
The show wasn’t that great. No tears. |
His monologues frequently go viral on social media And it is also available via podcast. If I had more time in the car, I would probably add it to my list. I usually listen to daily show |
This. Even if you don't like the show or find it funny, the blatant fact that CBS is canceling a show that's winning its time slot to appease a politician should concern you. |
That’s not what happened. Stop spreading misinformation. |
That is precisely what happened and calling it "misinformation" shows some serious delusion. He called them out for their blatant bribe of Trump and they responded within days canceling his show |
It did not have terrible ratings. You don't know what you're talking about. The show was canceled because of politics. The sale of CBS was not going to be approved by The administration because Trump is a thin skinned baby can't handle anyone criticizing him. This is just gross and no one should watch CBS. |
People will still watch him
They'll just turn off the Trump approved TV line up the major networks are offering. On air TV, long gasping for air, is dead Unless you are aiming for the geriatrics (endless drug commercials, ...) |
