I wonder if anybody still thinks the Colbert cancellation was a business decision

CBS has decided that they no longer intend to provide Emmy award winning entertainment. It's all going to be pandering nonsense after Stephen's final show.

It was never a business decision that had anything to do with ratings. It was a decision about a sale. Tons of money. A woman who wanted her business sold no matter the human cost. To appease an authoritarian.

It’s all about business. Yes. All of this is about oligarchs, their busy-ness, and their single-minded mission to make money and keep money.

I think it's likely that Colbert's show wouldn't have been renewed at the end of his current contract because late night talk shows are all losing money... but the decision to announce the end of his show a week before the Paramount Global deal closed was absolutely about placating Trump.

I do. At least mostly. This one is different, though. While the networks have been looking to wind these down for many years, the manner in which this took place and the direct involvement of the FCC and White House adds a new, terrifying, layer to this madness.

All three networks have movie and TV studios under their respective corporate umbrellas. The late night shows still serve as important promotional vehicles. Absolutely wild.

Obeying in Advance is a financial/business decision, one made by a large number of German companies and some multinational companies in the mid 1930's. Already in 2025, several American and some multinational companies are making the same financial/business decision.

Not that kind of business decision, not his ratings or audience numbers. No, it was a business decision to preserve Nexstar's merger. Trump will keep doing this. Just like he pounced on the Paramount merger.

Look at the pattern: CBS wants a merger, Colbert’s gone. Nexstar targets ABC, and Kimmel’s silenced. Now NBC’s in the wings—what government favor are they chasing? This isn’t just media strategy, it’s political theater with a body count. Seth Meyers, consider this your curtain call warning.

It is all a business decision. Corporations want to make money and this is the cost of favored status. For Trump everything is a business decision. Power equals money. For the Heritage Foundation folks, it is a mix of ideology and power. Orban was the honored speaker at CPAC for years.
