[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good grief, people.

Colbert was terminated because the show was losing millions.  Millions of dollars.  Millions of viewers.  And, tons of advertisers.  
This is what happens when your show becomes nothing more than a "Hate Trump" gripe session welcoming guests who only see eye-to-eye with the host. 
It was not and is not funny, which is what it is advertised as - a late night COMEDY show.  
Now, Colbert is playing the victim.  I'm wondering if he will even make it to May 2026.

Ha ha.

Your post is devoid of facts, bro.

Colbert has the highest rated night time talk show.

He was fired for political reasons. Period. Trump immediately posted on TS that he was thrilled Colbert was fired.

Actually, no. 
Colbert was top in his time slot, but the competition there isn't much.

According to LateNighter.com, citing Nielsen ratings, CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert topped the 11:35 pm hour in total viewers with an average of 2.417 million across 41 first-run episodes. The Late Show was also the only program to show an increase over the first quarter, with the show up 1%. In the coveted 18–49 demo, Colbert brought in 219,000 viewers.

The biggest ratings winner, however, was Fox News’ Gutfeld! in the 10 pm slot. The show, which takes a satirical look at the weekly news with a panel of comedians and political commentators, averaged 3.289 million viewers for the second quarter and 238,000 in the demo.

That doesn’t change the fact that CBS ended Colbert because of Trump. That should have never happened. We don’t live in Russia.[/quote]

You have it bass-ackwards.  We would be living in Russia if the show was kept on in the face of losing money.

If the DNC wants to start their own late night show and fund it, let them.  But CBS is dropping the show because it's a financial loser.[/quote]

Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But a POTUS should not dictate what we watch/don’t watch.

Now he is going after the View. All because of his fragile ego.[/quote]

POTUS isn't.  You can watch it if you want, but if it's not financially viable, you should not dictate what CBS broadcasts.

The View is up next in the barrel.  Probably because of all their slander and their lawyers having to demand the talking heads retract their lies.[/quote]

Your sensitive fascist child-king apparently had someone (probably very slowly) explain to him the need to control media.

“While disseminating new propaganda to its citizens, the Fascist party also strongly censored information that did not agree with their views. They persecuted those who wrote against the regime and on many occasions raided bookstores that sold “contraband” (D’Amato, 2016).”

Also, somewhat related is the takeover of the Kennedy Center.

“As time went on, Mussolini began to infiltrate Italian life deeper with his manipulation campaign creating institutions like the Ministry for Popular Culture to infiltrate categories like music, theater, sports, fashion, etc. (Galdi, 2010). The ministry pushed for patriotic and nationalistic material to be created and even ordered a “fascist” fashion style to be developed and made popular”[/quote]
