Senate Democrats are in the midst of screeching like crazed bats that CBS canceled Colbert’s unfunny reign of tedium in response to a Trump demand. They’re lying and they probably know they’re lying.
In reality, late night talk shows are dead. NBC cut back the Tonight Show to four nights. CBS effectively eliminated the Late Late Show a few years ago. CBS was warning that The Late Show was headed out the door earlier in July. It’s losing $40M a year.
But here are two people pushing the Colbert conspiracy claim who know better because they’re pros in broadcasting.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper wrongly called the cancellation of the “Late Show” a way for the company “to please President Trump as Paramount’s Sherry Redstone waits for the Trump administration’s blessing for a lucrative merger with a company called Skydance, a merger previously hung up by a substantively very weak lawsuit from Trump against CBS.”
“We have to also make note that Stephen Colbert is unafraid to, again, speak truth to power,” Former NPR CEO Vivian Schiller falsely claimed. “He does it in a very bipartisan way over the years, and comedy and parody is an important part of a democratic ecosystem.”
Claiming that Colbert was bipartisan is funnier than anything he’s said over they years, but never mind that.
Both Tapper and Schiller have worked in an industry at levels where they know perfectly well that CBS is not canceling a major show just off the bat in response to Trump admin pressure. Anything at this level is an involved fraught process that plays out over many months. The Late Show was a major investment. But it was an investment created by CBS to lure Letterman over from NBC. The plan to replace Letterman with Colbert didn’t work because he’s not funny and because late night shows are dying.
Both Tapper and Schiller know this. When they make these accusations, they’re lying, they know they’re lying and they don’t care because they’re pandering to an audience getting high on fake outrage.
Throwing lies against the wall, hoping they will stick.
There is a point (something that just now occurred to me): since history is so difficult, even if we are 99% sure, we can’t be 100% sure of anything. Like the guy claiming Trump didn’t really get shot. How can it be 100% proven? Nothing outside of deductive logic and mathematics is 100% solid, and even that sometimes gets questioned.
So the leftists/Democrats throw lies against the wall, knowing some percentage of the people will believe it.
Or if not, will have some doubts planted in their minds.
“Democratic ecosystem?” What kind of blather is that? The lefties just need the fuck off and die.
some ecosystems like the demoncrap ecosystem are like viral ecosystems we need to irradicate
So, Leftist political hatred with a laugh track isn’t selling. Who saw that coming?
Very well put and with humor. The Late Show with Martina Valsovik might get Sherry Redstone’s attention – give it one more shot with a lady host who is right and doesn’t pander to either side – just plain humor and light hearted late night talk show so we can all sleep happy
As “woke” Democ-rats sing the Stephen Colbert blues, I was reminded of Stephen Sondheim’s parallel mood in “Send in the Clowns” (Frank Sinatra’s version): “Isn’t it rich?/ Isn’t it queer?/ Losing my timing this late/ In my career?/And where are the clowns?/ There ought to be clowns./ Well, maybe next year.”
See B.S. News has always mostly Fake News 60 MINUTES, SUNDAY MORNING EYE ON AMERICA as well as their Morning and Evening News
Colbert watchers have the most shit sense of humor of anybody on the planet.
hey stephanie colbare, you’re an unfunny, no-talent, illiberal hollyweird cvnt so YOU’RE FIRED! bye bye
Hanoi Jane Fonda old bat cougar sitting on Colbert’s lap was the beginnings of his undoing – I never watched the damn show, I never watched when he was on that other slick shtick unfunny cable show that John Stewart created.
Johnny Carson launched careers. John Stewart launched what is equal to the dud scuds from Iran that fall short of their target and blow up.
I met Jane Fonda and her husband Tom Hayden as they were escorting Jane’s aunt, Henry Fonda’s sister to the taxi I was driving at night that I took to that once exclusive hotel near MacArthur Park. Frankly, Henry Fonda’s sister looked like Henry Fonda in drag and of course I was very young then.
Jane Fonda got me in trouble when I was 13. Next door neighbor dad had a Playboy subscription and kept the old playboys in boxes in his garage. One of his son’s and I went through the boxes and I snagged the issue that had pictures from the movie “Barbarella” (1968) – Jane Fonda was scantily clad but not nude. I ripped out the sections with the pictures of Barabarella and took them to school and showed them to a few boy classmates, who passed them along while I was absolutely oblivious. One boy had the lid to his desk open looking at the pics and started giggling – the teacher who was male, grabbed the pictures from the boy and asked, who brought these. Of course they all pointed to me. Shmuck! And the end of the day or the class the teacher surprised me and said: “I should tell your parents but I won’t” – Back then, teachers didn’t groom children except to be upstanding citizens.
Gee, I’m doing the weave like my beloved POTUS Trump.
Anyway, good riddance to stinky rubbish Colbert. I’m sure he’ll come out with a podcast to pander to lefty loser libertards who are the skid marks in satan’s underwear.
