      This has been coming since the day everyone on Reddit cheered the banning of President Trump from all social media. Actions have consequences.

      When you loudly encourage corporations to flex their muscles on political opponents, it’s going to come back and bite you too.

      Reminder to cancel your Paramount subscription and to say in the survey that it’s because they paid Trump a bribe and fired Colbert for telling us that.

      I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did considering how blatantly in the bag for Democrats the show had become and the fact that CBS was probably uncomfortable with that. The show was also losing a lot of money so I don’t know why anyone is surprised that it was cancelled.

      The optics are so obvious that if I were CBS I would have cancelled the show but not til 2028.

      Yes. It was all part of the settlement. Does anyone else not see just how cheap $16 million was for a multi billion dollar merger. Hell… To Trump, firing Colbert was WAY more the victory than the money. Otherwise it would have been $60 million for the bribe.

      The religious republicans among us may not know this but Stephen Colbert is a devoted catholic. He is kind and attends church regularly. He has even taught Sunday school.

      Remember this.

      They just stabbed a good man in the back to appease a pedophile because greed is more important than being a good man.

      When does an accusation become what actually happened? Cause that’s what happened.

    9. Scarfwearer on

      Absolutely true.

      Anyone who believes it was due to „financials“ needs to wake up.

    10. ChooseMercy on

      Why get upset? Now CBS can replace Cobert with a program that showcases Twump’s golden shoes, ecoins, watches, Bibles, virtual trading cards…..

    11. Imaginary_Art_2412 on

      Remember when the right was so concerned with cancel culture? I’m sure they’ll be just as concerned after hearing about this

    12. SurroundTiny on

      Are the Colbert fans? Businesses have been sucking up left and right with no comment, why now?

      I was pretty much outraged when I first heard about it and drew the same conclusion. The caveat is that there’s been reporting from legitimate sources that the show was losing $40M/year. That would help explain why they’re just getting rid of the show altogether, not changing hosts. If it’s true then it’s just poor timing/optics because if I was in charge and knew it was losing that much I’d get rid of it too.

      I think it was likely as much about him pointing out the fact CBS has essentially paid a bribe as anything.

    19. BeCoolOrLeaveDude on

      I’ll never watch CBS again and will not pay for any streaming service they offer.

      Celebrating Bad Suits. Chasing Boring Soup. Chapped Bald Souls. Credibly Bungles Society. Cheese Barf Sass.

      They canceled Colbert’s show……..I believe the proper answer is “strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine “

    23. Future-Helicopter-95 on

      It was about approving a merger and Colbert is collateral damage because he hurts „Little Girl Fucker“ Trump.

      So, in a word, Paramount / CBS knelt down to the Pedophile in Chief Trump for a cool $16 million.

    24. SoylentCreek on

      I seriously hope this all leads to a “Colbert no longer gives a fuck” phase similar to what we got with Conan in the final months of his series on NBC.

    25. Philly139 on

      This is the kind of shit the democrats need to cut it out with. Dudes show is losing money then he goes and blasts CBS on his own show that they are losing money on. Surprised Pikachu face

    26. DirtyHomelessWizard on

      Yes, the appeasing Trump part is scary… but… Colbert is barely left of post-stroke John Fetterman. It is purely circumstantial he happened to say something Trump didn’t like (which lots of people are doing) at a time where Trump had leverage for the merger deal. He isn’t some prescient revolutionary brave guy who speaks truth to power, he isn’t the voice we need right now, he isn’t *nearly* that cool. Colbert would gladly try to convince you anyone left of Hillary Clinton is unelectable and crazy. It’s scary that Trump is doing this, but not *because* it’s Colbert. Don’t lionize him

    29. Winston905 on

      dumbest move they could make. Bye Paramount and CBS . will never entertain watching anything from you again…… No subscribers for you ! NEXT…

    30. PennCycle_Mpls on

      Honest question, does anyone under 40 even watch late show genre anymore?

      I feel like John Oliver is the only one and he’s definitely more in the streaming category than television imho

    31. randomcanyon on

      CBS/Paramount pay off the Felon President

      Because it is obvious that they did.

      He threatened their rice bowl with lawfare and the power of the Presidency. Welcome to the fascist dictatorship he always wanted.

    33. UntilTheEnd685 on

      I feel the same thing too. After his parent company settled with poopypants, now they’re trying to get rid of anyone critical of Trump or the company’s actions. I saw some of the comments on his farewell video that said he should do what Tucker Carlson or Conan did and form his own company to talk about issues considering how popular Colbert is. Many of us carried over from when he was doing Colbert Report and miss that Conservative Christian act he was doing.

    35. aais4quiters on

      Cuz they did. New ownership meeting with the FCC 2 days before the announcement while still trying to get FCC approval. The transactional president forcing a transaction in his favor in order to get FCC approvals is exactly his MO.

    36. ScotchToo on

      Duh.

      Not exactly news.

      Let’s see what Murdoch does now with this lawsuit. Someone needs to start the snowball of standing up to him.
