OK Paramount, your move: Time for a Colbert cancellation “rescission.” Now that this is how the Trump Party does business …

Conveniently within a week of announcing the end of the Colbert show. It’s a Miracle of timing.

Intense scrutiny? Shame on your headline implying Trump gives a fuck about anti trust laws. The only thing he scrutinized was anti trump content, firing Colbert was obviously his order. South Park got back at all you trump sycophants. Fuck your NYT

South Park creators gave Trump the fuck you we’ve all been dying to. Just brilliantly defiant. The day Paramount announced their $1.5 billion deal 😭 www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Even if it’s anti trust violation Trump would ensure it goes through. He’s the corporate billionaire president/dictator.

So Skydance, owned by Trump billionaire buddy Larry Ellison, can turn CBS into FOX News Lite.

We must stop referring to our federal agencies by their names. It legitimizes their lawlessness. This is not the “the FCC.” This is a cabal of criminals eager to do Trump’s bidding.

And it only cost them a $16 million bribe, future muzzling of the once venerable CBS News, free future air time, and eventually pulling Colbert for “financial reasons.” I wonder if anybody previewed last night’s South Park. Oops!
