I am genuinely saddened by this…
Democrats are condemning CBS for its recent decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, noting the news comes just a few days after its host criticized the network’s parent company, Paramount, for settling a $16m lawsuit with Donald Trump.
Senator Adam Schiff, a California Democrat who appeared as a guest on Colbert’s show on Thursday night, later wrote on social media: “If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”
In early July, Paramount settled a “frivolous” lawsuit with Trump over the president’s claim that CBS News deceptively edited an interview with then presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Paramount is also seeking approval from the US Federal Communications Commission for an $8.4bn merger with Skydance Media. On Monday, Colbert called the settlement “a big fat bribe”.
…and of course, Trump is a total prick about it…
Donald Trump gloats over cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show
…the quote from Bertrand Russell about fascism sums it up…
“First they fascinate the fools then they muzzle the intelligent.”
…Colbert is a unique talent, who was able to bring adult discussions that mattered to the masses. He didn’t tell us what to think, but he challenged us on what we should be thinking about.
His intense scrutiny on Trump was always enlightening and transparent.
He bright oversight and insight while entertaining.
He was the cosmopolitan stranded of decency in a time of social media hate algorithms.
He was the conscience of America and any claim that the decision is purely financial is bullshit in light of the corrupt payout money they gave Trump alongside their desire for a media merger.
This was political and it is alt-right cancel culture at its worst.
This political hit job on Colbert happens just as Trump dumps a $10billion defamation case on the WSJ who aren’t exactly known for being car carrying members of the Communist Party…
Trump sues Murdoch and Wall Street Journal for $10bn over Epstein article
…Trump’s oppressive defamation case is because WSJ had the temerity of reminding everyone just how close Trump and Epstein really were just as Trump’s MAGA Rump turn on him over the closing of the case…
Trump says MAGA ‘weaklings’ are falling for Epstein conspiracy hoax
…a ‘hoax’ he perpetrated until it threatened to bring him down.
Nothing to see there then.
The Killing of the Late Show and defamation action against WSJ highlights how hollow Free Speech is in America!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Poor old Rupert – “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth is an ungrateful child”. Rupert built this monstrous affront to public decency from the dregs and sweepings of an ailing real estate family, and now it has turned on him. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bloke, but maybe even Rupert isn’t that fond of pedophiles.
The operatic possibilities are fabulous however:
Epstein: As someday it may happen that a victim must be found, I’ve got a little list, I’ve got a little list,
of society offenders who might well be underground, and they’d none of them be missed, no they’d
none of them be missed!
Stephen Colbert’s Show CANCELED By CBS …. “Paramount was hoping to close a multi-billion dollar merger with the company Sky Dance, which required the approval of the Trump administration”……
……. “the new owner Sky Dance would have canled it because it’s losing a lot of money., they decided to do it now in order to hurry favor with Trump so that the merger would go through,. I think that’s probably the story.” https://youtu.be/Ks3qIYKfvuM

Trump is exceeding my expectations in being a terrible hopeless usa president to the point where he is a joke …..
“”on his social media website, Truth Social, Trump accused his voters on Wednesday of falling for what he called a “radical left” hoax by the opposition to discredit him.
“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years,” he wrote.” …….

…… “The real question is why the US Government has adamantly refused to conduct a thorough investigation and indict wealthy, powerful men who were busy bedding underage girls under the tutelage of Jeffrey Epstein.
The image at the top of this post was created by Ryan Dawson, who has been one of the key citizen investigators since Epstein’s first arrest in 2006. The total settlements paid out so far to the victims of Epstein’s pedophile ring is over $800 million. How is that, as Trump stupidly claims, a hoax?”
Israels / Mossads rapey fingerprints are all over Jeffry Pedo-Steins hidden camera se crimes services …. “Only four people have been arrested in the Epstein affair — Jeffrey and Ghislane in the US, and two men overseas. Besides Epstein, the guy imprisoned in France also committed “suicide.”
Who knew unequivocal support for Israel meant protecting Pedo’s ??,,,,,,
Trump is cancelling himself for Zionists ,,,, I like this self assassination of a terrible terrible President ,,,, God bless him :0
Free speech is dead in America. America is the new North Korea and Russia where the dictator shuts it down…
