That's how capitalism works. Colbert is going to have a new show before his current contract expires.

That's how autocracy works, more accurately. No other U.S. president has ever triggered the quiet cancellation of their #1 network critic through corporate pressure and hush money. But in Russia 🇷🇺 & China 🇨🇳? That's routine. This isn't free-market capitalism - it's fear-driven loyalty enforcement.

Exactly. This wasn't the "free market" - Colbert was #1 in ratings. Canceling him wasn't business, it was obedience. This is what Putin does, not a functioning democracy.

I think we need grass-roots. And I think, that's what's actually happening via blogs, independent journalism, podcasts, social media, etc. 🌾 I also think we need hardcopy pamphlets, articles, etc. Ben Franklin style. And local news radio. *Which we can actually do without mass media intervention.

I’m ending my contract with CBS. Colbert will land on his feet. CBS will never be the same. Hope they lose billions and are forced to just start cancelling programming.

Paramount needs the administration’s approval to merge with a Hollywood studio. Paramount executives appeared to believe that absent a settlement, Trump would block the merger. (Paramount and the administration deny any relationship between the lawsuit and the merger.)

This is devastating! So proud of @colbertlateshow.bsky.social for the courage to speak out honestly about His Ignorance the Dear Leader. And do so in a way that’s entertaining — not easy these days. I’ve also heard (unverified) that all late night talk shows are losing viewers, but Colbert is tops.
