CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
Clearly retaliatory.
No! No! No! Stephen is our nightly therapist and we need him!!!
The most recent ratings from Nielsen show Colbert as winning his timeslot, with about 2.417 million viewers across 41 new episodes. It also said his late night show was the only one to gain viewers so far this year. This is not a financial decision 🤨
Not to mention, what would they even be saving money on? It's a bare bones set with minimal staff.
Dictators don’t like to be challenged.
America deserves for you to do your fucking job instead of whining cuz u lost your privelege of rambling on talk shows.
He’ll probably go back to Comedy Central
Which is also owned by Paramount, unfortunately. People are specific l speculating The Daily Show will be next.
Of course it was
JFC, everyone but Elizabeth seems to know it was for political reasons.
When they said it was financial, it wasn’t the ratings or revenue potential they were talking about, it was the $16million they let trump extort from them with the threat of more, by one person and the DOJ he now owns. Fascism has gone public. Denial is no longer in their arsenal, save the airwaves
Paramounts board will be prosecuted for bribing a public official.
MAGAts over on X apparently now support cancel culture. Crazy how that works.
They always did as long as it wasn't their guy being canceled.
Ladies & gentleman, welcome to the stage…fascism
We already know.
Colbert will outlast this but CBS won't.
lol! Looking forward to his future podcast
I hope people pressure CBS for being cowards towards Trump. Fight back damn it
Duh. Of course it was.
I believe canceling Colbert was part of the deal. Period.
I'm SERIOUSLY pissed Colby is cancelled. That was my fucking SANITY. Can't live in this NAZI SHITHOLE without Colby every night, or I will scream. FUCK TRUMP. I HOPE LIZ WARREN BUILDS A JAIL ON TOP OF THE JAIL THEY BURY PRESIDENT PEDOPHILE UNDER. I HOPE IT HAPPENS VERY SOON. BRING BACK COLBY!
It 100% was. Just like the $15,000,000 was completely a bribe. Need to boycott Skydance and Paramount, but keep watching Colbert, and only Colbert until the last day.
Liz, America knows!
"IF" Senator? Coincidence? DEMs are consistently SLOW to connect the dots. IMO this is why we are so far down the authoritarian path. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.
We the people have our eye's wide open. Why are some of the incumbent Dems still using "maybe" language. Take off your blinders it's already happening. We are way past "if this if that". If your going to make a statement, acknowledge the "now". Colbert's contract "was" canceled due to politics. 🚫GOP
Of course it was cancelled for political reasons!
Cancel Paramount subscriptions through however you subscribed. Write to CBS--give them a piece of your mind: www.cbs.com/showfeedback/
He probably knew it was coming before he called them out for the deal with Trump.
Yes of course they did it!!
Look no further than to David Ellison, who was happy to give shareholder money to Trump.
We know
Supposedly canceling the Late Show period But September poof a new host, say Steve Bannon? OK that’s nuts but ? Falling in line with the cult is failing By 28’ it’s over Full blown Gestapo
The level of corruption in this government is beyond The pale.
I can't wait to see what vapid reality show they'll put in that time slot that will pull in 2 million viewers.
Reruns of The Apprentice (the one without Arnold).
Screw CBS!
A deal that was full of bribery. It’s time to treat corporations like a person…lock them up…CEOs and board members to start with.
I hate this!
#CBS has gone #magaFascism...
Purchased by a 2020 election denying billionaire. The American Oligarchy is growing.
Sounds like something which warrants Congressional oversight, perhaps a hearing in the Senate, do you know anyone who might be able to do that? Also, I voted for you in the 2020 primaries, still have my Warren sticker on my desk ❤️
Stephen is having his Obi Wan Kenobi moment. “If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.”
Love it! 🤣🤣🤣
I’d settle for Stephen throwing Orange Palpatine down a reactor shaft instead.
He's no longer bound.
🙂
FUCK CBS!
They need to be investigated and charged!
Skydance Media, led by David Ellison, recently acquired Paramount Global in an $8 billion deal. Skydance will merge with Paramount, with Ellison becoming Chairman and CEO and Jeff Shell as President. David is Larry Ellison's son. Larry is multi-billionaire owner of Oracle and hard right winger.
I wonder if he was cancelled because, oh I don't know, people watch late night comedy to, you know, laugh? Forget politics for an hour? 80 million people voted. And not everyone is a raging trump derangement syndrome lunatic like you.
You’ve never watched his show, have you?
Abide Dude, abide.
They will deny it, but come on, clearly it was.
I have Paramount+ because I can't watch Serie A soccer anywhere else, something I love. I just cancelled the subscription and let them know why in the comments. I won't support those that support fascism.
Giving up something you love to protest fascism shows more principle than we see from most Americans. Love it.
We all need to do this with any company that capitulates to or profits from regimes like trump’s.
We here use "rojadirecta" to see games (specially because my father like to see games of his home country). If you can't find another official stream... You can always go "extra official".
Colbert is open and honest - two qualities that are anathema to MAGA.
Paramount wants that Skydance merger so bad, they paid Trump hush money and canned Colbert👇 bsky.app/profile/that...
We all know the assignment. Boycott CBS. I never watched it in the first place.
📌
Now he has until May 2026 to say anything against the Malignant Narcissist. He'll be a hero & show up somewhere that he gets even more coverage & can speak freely. We still have Kimmel & Jon Stewart. CBS has made Colbert hold back for years now since he mentioned the pee pee video
You know that thing's are a changing when people can trust and take their comedians seriously and the politicians are the joke. Can't make this stuff up.
The Daily Show and Colbert have been among the best and most trustworthy news sources.
I think Kimmel should be in there somewhere !!!
A study in 2014 found that people who watched Fox "news" were less informed than people who watched no news at all. People who watched "The Colbert Report" were MORE informed. (yes, it's a nypost link, but the study was done by UPenn) nypost.com/2014/06/03/c...
Fucking cowards
It was. But it also reveals that appeasement does nothing. Because Colbert has been less biting in his Trump attacks since the election and it got him nothing. Appeasement didn’t work in 1940 and it won’t work now.
Less biting? Hardly...
I smell a pretty big rat. I’m sure he knew the risks and I hope CBS has to eat some sh-t pie!
All of the ones that have been canceled should create a joint network...Colbert, Joy Reid, Midas Touch, Rachel, all that have been canceled by politics
America already knows!!!
Does anybody not believe of all things going on with ABC or CBS or some Law firms or even many "Judicial" decisions that this is beginning to resemble the land of Trump's grandfather??
I cannot believe that CBS & Paramount caved in to "Der Leader"! Walter Cronkite may be rolling over. I remember Dan Rather standing up and challenging Nixon. From now on, I'm sure that CBS on all its newsshows will be "very careful not to upset Der Leader"! What will happen to Face the Nation or 60?
Time to cancel CBS
OH YES ITS POLITICAL AND NOTHING BUT
Did Trump write a picture telling them exactly what he wanted to happen or did he simply telegraph it through Epstein and a Ouija board?
Yes it was cancelled to appease Trump
Of course it was canceled for political reasons.
Ov if course it was political! What even was the question?
As if there’s any question about that!
Of course it was political. The war is on, and the bad guys are winning.
Shari Redstone is a ring kissing coward Anyone who encounters her in public should be screaming: coward coward coward
We are not a functioning democracy- watch Colbert interview the “Egyptian Jon Stewart” who was cancelled by his government for speaking truth to a power dictatorship youtu.be/rZLwPui5TQk?...
Of course it was cancelled for political reasons! It was a bribery too IMO.
Slimey🙏👀
Stephen never pulled any punches in calling out bullshit wherever it was going on (even about his bosses.) I really have to hand it to him for that. It wouldn't surprise me if that's why they were canceling the show. But they have clearly lost their moral compass credibility in making that deal.
Senator Warren!... Reallllly ???... And you are not aware of the Fascist Takeover of CBS by Trump Billionaire Bud, Sky Dance Media?... Come on!... Please stop the rhetoric!...
Rhetoric?
A damn shame. I love Colbert. Donald is such a sensitive little bitch
Boycott CBS!!
Who watches it??
Senator, you and your colleagues in the other body need to remind these folks what oversight is going to look like with the gavels back in Democrats' hands. The Marquess' rulebook is in a big pile in the street, lit on fire. We're past the discontinuity. Please meet the moment.
Y'all remember that scene in V for Vendetta where the TV host who everyone loved aired a skit poking fun at the Chancellor, and was black-bagged all the same as everyone else
No doubt due to crookedness of Taco McTaterNuts
CBS = Fascist caving fucks
Investigate them.
CBS eye logo should be a pink eye from all that ass sucking.
Noice
🔥
It’s the actual asshole…
Indeed
While we are investigating things anyone concerned a mentor of the Treasury secretary and maybe future fed chair is super short on long term US Debt
Is bribing a president the sort of thing that would cause revocation of a broadcast license?
Who's gonna revoke their license, the MAGAt coconspiritors? They'll 🐓 block any attempt to hold CBS accountable. WFT owns "skydance"?
The FCC doesn't license the networks, so CBS has no license to revoke.
He needs to sue.
Do it Liz!!
That has to be true. That’s a crying shame!
We know. Hope he sues them, and hope more and more people refuse to watch CBS as a result.
Colbert is the highest-rated late night talk show. To cancel it would be stupid from an advertiser-funded standpoint. Colbert draws in the audiences = more and higher ad revenue for CBS. Financially unsound to cancel his show. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
If JD Vance can be Veep...Colbert sure as hell can. That man is brilliant.
Joy Reid's show was doing okay too. @msnbc.com
Well Colbert can now got out and fight for democracy.
Thin-skinned Trump and his sycophant, complying billionaire friends ended Colbert. WTF is happening to this f*ucking country?! Where’s that First F*ucking Amendment?!
It’s Trump’s fault Colbert sucks.
Colbert speaks his mind, especially when it comes to lowlifes. He has the right.
Emmy nominated shows by definition don’t suck.
Apparently CBS thought different.
Of course. They are caught under the heal of a dictator.
That explains a lot about your perspective. ✌️
It’s a display of your perspective. Hope that helps.
I mean, you can think what you want. But a LOT of people have noticed a LOT of parallels. We have the right to point them out. We have the right to ask questions.
Colbert represents a liability to CBS, that liability was mitigated by cancelling the show.
I reckon. But no help needed on my perspective. I just hope someday this country can reconcile and put someone in power who truly cares about people rather than their own well being. I wish you well.
The US Constitution has been retired. NONE of its amendments apply today. It is still on display in museums for a limited time for those that still want to remember, or understand the way things used to be.
Agree
I picked up some pocket constitutions, fully anticipating they'll be on the ban list in the future. Shocking how fast a cacophony of fascists can move.
Where’s the first amendment? Right behind the trigger. 💀
As mid as his show was, it did not deserve to be canceled for that tyrannical reason.
I think we know.
One more reason not to get paramount. Pretty sure Stephen won’t be unemployed for long.
We also deserve to have a president who isn’t a rapist pedo fascist, yet here we are…
Ommmmg! This is horrible!!!
Of course it is.
And will you and any of your colleagues order an investigation into this or will Schumer & his old guard order you to let this go?
He’s not a journalist he’s an entertainer. He can sue for retaliatory firing or breach of contract but that’s about it.
And of course he won't do that since any an all denizens of the #PariahStatesofAmerica are too cowardly to stand up to people like Miller's puppet Honestly, 99.99% of the the human race are getting what it deserves for their stupidity while the remaining 0.01% have to clean up their mess...AGIAN!
You need to stop watching whatever you're watching, there are SO MANY lawsuits right now because of Trump it's insane. Keep up with that cynicism...
Who said I was watching anything? I just accepted reality for what it truly is ever since Nov. 5 2024 since the Denizens chose cheaper eggs over programs that could help them
PS: That makes me a misanthrope since I've been right about humans every single time
Or shortsighted.
Of cos it's political reasons , Lizzie , Colbert's show have great ratings , Senator
Maybe @meidastouch.com can pick up Colbert and add him to their lineup of programming. They’d a millions new subscribers at least.
They couldnt afford him.
Probably not, but the media landscape is changing so rapidly, you just never know. It’s worth a conversation with him at least. @meidastouch.com
Of course it’s a bribe, same as the 60 Minutes settlement. Republicans have always been good at working the media refs and crying “censorship” but this is outright kleptocracy. The Stephen Colbert Show—which criticizes Trump—is being canceled to secure government approval for the Skydance deal.
Can't wait to hear Colbert pound CBS, Paramount and Dear Leader tRump into the ground for the next 3 1/2 years. Where do I sign up to follow that?
The show is still on for another 10 months. I’m sure he will spend that time figuring out his next move.
He will do well wherever he ends up.
Shame on CBS. Spineless move.
I wonder what would happen if every other late night show host started challenging this. Can they fire them all…? 🤔
Paramount clearly hasn’t listened to @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1. Do not obey in advance
It probably was. But then your constitution has also been violated multiple times for political reasons. How's that going?
YA THINK???
Deserve to know? You already know the answer
Why don't you do something about Trump stealing this last election? Congress needs to speak up, and make sure they don't steal 2026.
He’s a stupid straight old wrinkly white man. Irrelevant.
Of course that’s why
It's still on the air for another year. If it was political he'd be gone already.
There might be contracts involved. Nearly everyone underneath the headline talent is in a union.
Elizabeth, unfortunately we will never know.
It’s a political move by CBS. I will not watch CBS any longer. I stopped watching ABC because they caved to the idiot also.
When they had the CBS morning hosts kiss the ring I knew they sold their integrity. Time to shoot down the satellites!
Y’know, I honestly can’t remember the last time I watched anything on network television. I mean, the programming was just lame.
Idiots... can't wait to cancel my paid subscription.
Of course it was canceled for political reasons. This is how fascism works.
He can go live on YouTube and make millions
Late Night With Stephen Colbert also wasn't on national TV on Tuesday night. Locally, CBS showed Drew Barrymore. Others said their local CBS station showed Dr. Phil and infomercials. One person commented that their station just showed the CBS logo in his time slot.
Oh...we KNOW!
Let's take comfort knowing that Colbert will be a successful entertainer many years after the orange ogre has been long gone and his band of thugs a recognized dark stain in American history.
No question it was for political reasons, that's how dictators work, right?
Respectfully, America knows.
quid pro quo. There is evidence for quid. There is evidence for quo. Good luck with the necessary, middle part: pro.
Companies are making a mistake by being bullied by a dictator. His needs are insatiable and his lawsuits are often frivolous but rather than fight they are settling.
Good point. There's always going to be another necessary favor.
There will always be a candidate who needs airtime or support. This was a bad decision.
May they get theirs.
Is this true. WTF?? Jesus @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy what the actual hell is wrong with you. Get over it. You’re acting like Trump and the Epstein list. I guess it was bribery. Good job looking guilty Paramount.
Oh, we already know.🙄
Sell outs.
Of course it was cancelled for political reasons, but nothing is going to stop it from happening because nobody has the balls to stand up to the corrupt bastards in power to put a stop to it,unless your colleagues grow a fucking set and call this out for what it is.....
Absolutely how do we protest CBS cowardice
Canceled the streaming service membership
My thoughts precisely, although, I guess we already know the answer to that question.
may Colbert and his writers go FULL UNLEASHED until last episode. Say Lindsay Graham is gay at the beginning of every monologue.. and then more
The big news is the Wall Street Journal has released information about Trump’s birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein But the national security question is what do the Russians have on Trump !!
“Was his show cancelled for political reasons?” Wow… I wonder…. I bet the answer is YES!!
It just came on Radio New Zealand that Paramount denied _in its first announcement of the show's cancellation_ that it had nothing to do with the content. Hmm. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
America knows.
Of course it's political. To even suggest otherwise is naivety bordering on severe fückwïttëry. Maybe the Dems can collectively grow a pair before Krystalnacht?
What is it that you think Dems should do here?
More. Much, much more.
Name one thing. One thing that the Senator can do that isn’t already being done, on the issue of CBS cancelling Colbert’s show.
Stop voting to confirm any of Dotard's nominees.
which has nothing to do w CBS cancelling Colbert’s show
Not directly.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the 🍊💩🤡 hasn't been jailed or at least impeached. The entire republiKKKlan party is complicit in the fascist coup
Maybe voters shouldn’t have handed ALL 3 branches of Govt to the GOP.
Really shouldn't have given any of the branches to the Trumpublicans.
How far CBS has fallen. Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite are spinning in their graves.
As a child, I grew up with Peter Jennings, and a deep respect for Hugh Downs. My parents instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of journalism. I cannot imagine that any of these lions of broadcasting would have tolerated this. It's heartbreaking.
IT'S OBVIOUS.
Every time I see something put out by Paramount I will remember what weak cowards they are.
It was canceled for exactly that reason. Don’t need a he at ring on that
Of course it’s political! He’s one of the best rated shows!
Trump hates Colbert because Steven's not afraid of him! You can't keep a good truthteller down, Donny.
The deal though, is that Steven Colbert's audience is gonna follow Steven Colbert. Trump can't shut down all the platforms. Yet.
That's a good point! If he's not done, I'll follow him anywhere!
He will try
With ratings like he has he’s drawing in a lot of ad revenue. He’ll have no trouble finding a new home.
I don't believe in coincidence and neither should anyone else.
Of course it was bribery.
The new McCarthyism is here
Of course it is
Of course, it's bribery. Of course, it's political. But they can't be prosecuted for bribing the President, because the President controls who gets prosecuted. So everyone needs to immediately boycott Viacom/CBS/Paramount. Ruin them. End the merger attempt. And sue the crap out of the CEO.
Liz, you’re not a prosecutor, you can just make the accusation.
The media is no longer trusted and this is why. Paramount gave in to a dictator. If they are not going to fight for themselves, they certainly will not fight for truth telling. People are getting their news elsewhere and they won’t be coming back.
So Trump has "handled" Congress, the Courts, the Fourth Estate, and We The People. Looks like his concept of a plan to turn our democratic republic into an authoritarian theocratic oligarchy is in the bag. Is this where every knee is supposed to bow and every tongue must confess? Game over?
This here component of We the People will not be handled or silenced.
Over half of US already voted for Trump. Twice. The rest of US have not successfully handled or silenced HIM. *shrug*
In 24 a little over 1/3 voted for Trump, a little less than 1/3 voted for Harris and rest of country did not vote
Many of My Fellow Americans don't believe in voting and that does cause our democracy to suffer. Unfortunately compulsory voting isn't plausible, but I feel the "no answer" vote should be calculated. Both Red & Blue should lose to NOTA! None Of The Above should count!
The Al-mighty dollar won this even if American people didn’t want it. Sky Dance is dancing alright for Trump.
www.azcentral.com/story/entert...
Boycott CBS Paramount
The got that $16 Million from somewhere. Don't give them the opportunity.
If it looks like bribery and sounds like bribery... it's a duck! I love that gag.
Biting the hand that fed him. I hope he continues to do that between now and next May. What more can they do to him? They already fired him! LOL
He'll come up with something.............
I would LOVE to see Colbert and Tomlinson join forces through the summer of 2026: Stephen could 'open' for Taylor in her live performances all summer long, and then he'd join her and her friends on the couch/bench thing... OR they could use next summer as an opportunity to do.. The Thinkable!
#WestWing 2028 Stephen Colbert as POTUS Taylor Tomlinson as Chief of Staff Patton Oswalt as Press Secretary Janeane Garofalo as First Lady & VP. Alan Tudyk as... "and the rest"
Nathan Fillion as "the Secret Service." He's all of them. Did I mention this reboot might be a comedy? Just a little bit. Maybe "dramedy" would be a better word. Also, the entire cast will be wearing running sneakers cuz in #WestWing 2028 there will be even more walking. We need to make this happen.
In light of Colbert's cancellation, the stated reason for Taylor's cancellation must be reexamined. ☹️
I concur, but that's up to Taylor. From what I can tell, she's doing so much better going back to what she loves. Stand up is what she's been doing since her teens. If she's making more money & getting more fulfillment.. in interviews she described After Midnight like a soul crushing job. *shrug*
Taylor would show up to After Midnight studio and a team of pros dressed her up like a doll, then escorted her to a mark on the floor or the podium where she read from a teleprompter jokes written by a team of talented pros. Easy job, but after two years of that.. *shrug* Maybe she missed stand-up.
Oh I'm sure that Taylor will be happier returning to solely doing standup (she continued doing shows as she hosted). But Paramount didn't seek a new host (lots of talent who could do it), and cancelled the show outright, and will likely air infomercials instead.
I loved the original At Midnight, and loved this incarnation too, and it continued to get better as they honed it. Showcasing comedians, especially lesser known comedians, and showcasing the comedic talents of other actors, even if not ever joke lands, was a lot of fun to watch.
But I suspect that Paramount rather submit than having comedians snipe at the Dear Leader in this age were all dissent is being crushed. 😠
They really need that approval for the $8.4 billion merger
nfw
Don’t have any CBS, but I’ve cancelled my Showtime subscription. We have the numbers, every little helps.
What was the point of him supporting the genocide for so long for fucks sake?
Tanking? On November 4th 2024, it was at $240. Today, much higher, despite reaching $470 on December 21, 2024.
Yeppers time to boycott
Yes!! #BoycottCBS #BoycottParamount 🖕
Either way, corporate media and network TV are two dying entities and I welcome their demise. Gone are the days of a handful of "elites" controlling what the masses see and hear.
Absolutely. There are so many great news sources. The Bulwark is outstanding. The New Republic. Talking Points Memo. Mother Jones. Lawfare. Marcy Wheeler is the best one IMHO. www.emptywheel.net/2025/07/17/p...
I really like The Bulwark. Even in rare situations where I disagree with Tim he presents his case in a thoughtful way that I can appreciate. Thoughtful dialogue and calm disagreement is exactly what we need to get back to.
Same. Sarah has a calming effect on me. And I love how Meidas constantly trolls TFG. Surprising standouts are WIRED and Teen Vogue of all publications.
And Rolling Stone. Surprising where some of the good stories are coming from these days. WIRED has definitely broken a lot of big stories since the inauguration.
Yes! 👏🏼 The entire CBS News staff, including 60 Minutes, should resign. CBS has ZERO credibility and it will likely never be restored.
Oh, heck yeah. Love Sarah Longwell. She's a national treasure. All three are killing it. We actually have a pretty vibrant free press. Paramount just destroyed CBS News. The good journalists will find a good home somewhere else or just go Independent. That's okay.
Ben Bagdikian is somewhere in the ether saying, “I told you motherfuckers in the 80’s this is what would happen.” He wrote the book, Media Monopoly. He knew what was coming.
📌
Wish there was a way to save posts..like this. I guess screenshot works ;)
Tim "NYers want to grocery shop at Walmart" Miller, of which NY famously has not a single walmart because they dont want them there has some famously bad takes and a lot of us have forgotten he's not left wing at all
Miller was in the belly of the beast of GOP politics for years. He also took one look at Trump and was like, nope, and he gave up a lot in the process. He's pretty brutal on the GOP.
You listed liberal news sources then a guy who blatantly lies to his listeners about NYCers wanting to grocery shop at non-existent Walmarts. I obviously watch the dude, I don't need a history lesson. The Bulwark is far from outstanding as a replacement to Colbert.
And Sarah "I don't want to mean to cops" and JVL.. JVL.. At least they're an option.
NYCers, this is in reference to Zohrans government grocer idea. He also doesnt find Zohran attractive, which is a weird thing to say, but he's your run of the mill creeper old gay guy.
Yep. And I just checked. I watch nothing from CBS these days. Not surprised.
Shit show once again Ellison is such a piece of dookie.
#$%^ Colbert. He hosted Biden's fundraiser with war criminals Obama and Clinton while this was happening - "Israeli forces launched airstrikes on refugee camps Shati and Jabalia—resulting in dozens of civilian casualties that week." Disgusting. Souless. Repulsive. @stephencolbert.bsky.social
Prompted UN and humanitarian agencies to report mass casualties, including children and women. Led to renewed accusations of violating international humanitarian law, especially regarding the targeting of civilian zones. www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/3/...
The merger between Paramount Global and Skydance should be paused until it can be determined whether CBS bribed POTUS.
But that isn't going to happen because Trump controls the DoJ and the FTC. Boycott now.
Was it a bribe or extortion?
We are in full fascism. I think we know it was political.
It was greed.
📌
NAZIS must not win over our country.
Fuck you CBS!! I will not watch your fascist ass channel ever again. You POS Traitors!! Colbert was the only way I felt I could survive this tyrant in our Whitehouse! GD you all to hell. We WILL FIGHT FASCISM every MFkng day until it's dissolved from our beautiful free Country! Fucking Watch US!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Colbert, who helped hound Joe out of office. No sympathy.
Of course it was cancelled for political reasons. There is no if about it, no matter how much CBS denies it.
free press? free speech? no more.
Issue is right wing billionaires buying up all the mainstream media… CBS is being purchased by one, hence the cancellation.
CBS was bought by Skydance and is owned by Larry Ellison‘s son. Ellison is a Trump fanatic and right wing nut job. He backed and owns Skydance and this is a conservative takeover. They own everything. CNBC, Fox, ABC, CNS, CNN- Twtr & soon to be TikTok. He is the front runner for that too.
CBS News does not allow free speech. They suck!
Hope CBS loves protests outside their doors!
Outside the CBS doors? Who cares! Protest Fox News. Protest outside THEIR DOORS! You all are complaining about the paint color while the house is on fire.
Get them all! Sherri Redstone (who's late dad looked like a long lost brother of Chump)? Rupert Murdoch? David Zaslav? They're all in on it!
WhyNotBoth?
It's more... one house has already burned down and the fire is spreading to the house next door.
I will always argue that Fox is the root of all our problems. If you want to protest, start there.
America already knows the show was canceled for political reasons
This entire administration is one big shake down and grift and the main stream media isn’t calling it out for what it is. How can they live with themselves??
By keeping on cashing those big fat checks.
My message to the great journalists at CBS. Get out now before the boycott.
He knew didn't he? He knew his firing was inevitable and made sure this bit got out there. He's too fucking smart to have thought they would let him continue. Can't wait to see Colbert uncensored.
Maybe he'll go to Comedy Central where he can say whatever he wants?
Hate to tell ya, but Paramount owns Comedy Central. It’s actually why many won’t be surprised if Jon Stewart and The Daily Show also get axed. Will be funny to see if South Park decides to poke the bear and call out the BS.
They won't because it's a conservative show
They weren’t always. There were times they would specifically make an episode just to push buttons. But 20+yrs and guaranteed thousands of dollars a season has tamed them.
Dear god. Can we all just laugh!
Call me suspicious, but I think the timing was deliberate--they want to chill artists and content creators into compliance. "Don't make Creepy Geezer mad at us again..."
I agree, that's probably what trump and his cronys wanted to do, but I think the further down this road they goes, the angrier we are getting and I don't see compliance coming. The crowd size just gets larger too.
Yes! Paramount may be hoping for quiet acceptance, but I don't think audiences and artists will back down. Let's hope this is the last media conglomerate to cave.
Can’t imagine Colbert didn’t think he was playing with fire calling out his own patent company. Good for him to show courage in the face of this assault on free speech.
👆This is strategic non-cooperation folks.
There's no "if" about it
they won't admit it. don't mean it ain't true. it's a power play, but oppression is the mask of fear.
CBS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trump Organization.
Seems like that’s true. CBS and Paramount licking the boots of the Epstein lister, spray tanned, orange menace. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The worst thing CBS could have done was unmuzzled Colbert. Colbert will be just fine.
We all know it was cancelled for political reasons and to get the merger passed. I also see Colbert getting a new show on Netflix.
I hate fuqqing Netflix and Hulu etc..
girl do something 🙄
Canceling my subscription to Paramount streaming.
I got mine through Walmart+, so I technically never paid for it, right?
Absolutely 😊
Chump just made him more popular !
Fuck CBS

spineless worthless cowards. How ANYONE can be afraid of Donald Trump is beyond me. The man can't even handle paper being thrown at him without hiding behind secret service. Pathetic
Its their Zionist shareholders all are marching to
The news reporting on Stephen Colbert's show ending just said Trump was asked about Stephen Colbert's show ending and Trump said.... "We are coming for Jimmy Kimmel next".
@thehill.com Unless you think the public is a special kind of STUPID! No One believes in a million yrs Stephen Colbert Show is being canceled becuz of financial reasons. Stephen Colbert show is most watched in late night. @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @colbertlateshow.bsky.social IS TRUMP CONCESSION
#mafiaDon strikes again. Thou shall NOT criticize the Fuhrer.
He will be better off.
Oh I have been waiting for this to happen
Letting Colbert beat them senseless for their decision without penalizing him would have been the best thing CBS could have done to counter accusations that it's been compromised.
BLAM!
His termination was probably already part of the deal.
🇨🇦🇺🇦Let’s cut to the chase: CBS Paramount CHOSE to dispose of the generous, kind, funny, sweet soul of Stephen Colbert & his Late Show to appease a criminally liable sexual predator (& likely pedophile). CBS has zero integrity-Bill Owens, Scott Pelley & now Colbert- CBS is fighting to join Fox News.
I cancelled WAPO & NYT some time back. Looks like I’m boycotting CBS.
Damn straight!
