The Democrat/corporate media whineathon and conspiracy-mongering continue in the aftermath of news that longtime late-night TV talk show host Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” program has been canceled by CBS, effective May 2026.
When last we left you, it had been reported that the show was losing around $40 million a year, which, more than anything else, including alleged political considerations, would appear to explain why he, in essence, was handed his walking papers:
Puck News’ Matt Belloni reported the late-night show “has been losing more than $40 million a year” for CBS and that it had a budget of “more than $100 million per season,” contrasting it with network’s daytime and primetime programming, which he noted were “still profitable.”
“‘Late Show,’ with its topical humor and celebrity interviews pegged to specific projects, has struggled on Paramount+. And of the three network late-night shows, ‘Late Show’ has by far the smallest digital footprint on YouTube and other platforms,” Belloni wrote. “So from a business perspective, the cancellation makes sense.”Belloni said the sources he spoke with at CBS and Skydance Media, the company that is set to buy the network’s parent company Paramount Global as part of an $8 billion merger, insist Colbert’s cancellation was “based on economics, not politics”….

A bizarrely grizzled Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), who some have speculated is angling to run for president in 2028, is also just one tweet away from needing a wahmbulance:
Other Democrats, like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), failed 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee and Gov. Tim Walz (MN), and twice-failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, were also busy proving the points Colbert’s critics were making about how wildly partisan the show was being a likely contributor to its decline and staggering yearly financial losses:
Not explained in the “truth to power” messages was why Colbert routinely refused to speak “truth to power” to Democrats:
Then there was this “masterful” gem, from CNN media hall monitor Brian Stelter:
In response, some noted, among other things, how the word “funny” was in short supply among the Colbert tributes:
Further, this may explain the real reason why Liz Warren’s headdress feathers are so ruffled:
And here’s some food for thought:
If that doesn’t put the Democrats’ “priorities” in perspective, I don’t know what does.
