Bleak sign of the times when CBS News, owned by Paramount, chose to bribe compensate Trumps library and lawyers $16 million dollars for the agonizing pain, confusion and mental anguish he and Captain Doctor Rep. Ronny Johnson experienced when a Kamala Harris answer on 60 Minutes made her look too smart.
And now things are getting bleaker. CBS has cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and it will end May 2026. Colbert is being retired, and the network will not replace him. Instead CBS is going end the entire show, and will re-run old episodes of Gunsmoke or something in the 11:35 p.m. slot instead.
CBS put out a sorry-ass statement claiming the cancellation was purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night, which is not related in any way to the shows performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount. UH HUH.
The Late Show was the highest-rated late-night talk show for nine consecutive seasons as of 2025, with a steadily-growing audience, in fact, it was CBSs only show to attract more viewers than the previous quarter. And it was nominated for another Emmy last week! What is the bigger money-making prospect theyre hoping for? Trumpcoin infomercials?
Coincidentally, a few days before the sacking, Colbert went for the groin attached to the hand of the network that feeds him over their BIG FAT BRIBE.
. . .
Let us end with Colberts funny / meaningful and beautiful testimony to Congress to draw attention to UFWs Take Our Jobs campaign and the exploitation of migrant farmworkers:
Hes always been one of the good guys. Long may he wave.
