Why the Democratic Party is so fierce Stephen Colbert canceledThis is a question that I have been asking for myself all week, since we came to know that the hosting is losing its show late at night, CBS decided that $ 40 million loss every year There is a lot of price to pay.
It should not really come as a surprise for people: it is difficult for large traditional television organizations. They now face all kinds of competition from streaming and social media, from independent people, who, in some cases, are much fun compared to Stephen Colbert and what can do late night hosts for a fraction of cost. I say that on YouTube, on Tiktok, on Substack, X and other places have more fun. More and more people are receiving their entertainment and their news in this way – and have to be caught late at night. This is not just one relevance, or pack the same punch.
So eventually, it was clearly a business decision. But try to tell them this.
Colbert is definitely working in such a way that Donald Trump’s fault – not everything. In fact, he recently Vowed in the air on TrumpAnd John Stewart Got forwardSaying a complete impure songs about hating Trump. I will not play the clip, because many of my patient manufacturers are getting sick to blipp this week, between it and every video requested for this week. Hunter Biden.
Now look-even Keith Obalman, perhaps the most tireless, anti-trump, anti-republican mainstream progressive commentator, thinks that it was probably just a business decision.
He Xe: “If he fired Trump to appeal to him, why are they allowing him to stay in the air as a lame duck, no one wants to stop him from saying that he wants to say this for the next ten months?”
Donhue being another former commentator, one I liked a lot, which was eventually Lacquer For commercial reasons. When Keith Obalman is giving you a very important purity check, you should be very afraid.
Eventually, I do not really blame other late night hosts- Stewart, Kimmel, Follen, Adi – to show industry solidarity with Colbert. But why are the democratic politicians worried about cancellation of cancellation?
And trust me, they are fierce. Rape. Ted Leau is really Cabbing a petition to cancel CBS to CBS. Do he not have more important things, possibly from his components?
Sen Berney Sanders As well weighedBerney writes on X: “CBS billionaire owners paid $ 16 million to Trump for a fake prosecution while trying to sell the network to Skidan. Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slam the deal. After days, they are removed. I think it’s a coincidence?”
Then, he has no evidence that it was anything other than a business decision. The show was a big money! I know that Burney is not a very big fan of capitalism, but generally, when you are losing tons money, business pivotes. Perhaps under democratic socialism, we must have subsidized terrible political comedy?
And of course Sen Elizabeth Warren is equally angry. Seriously, he Will not stop tweeting about this.
Does anyone think for a minute that various Democratic politicians will furious at a conservative news channel canceling a conservative show? Or even if a show you’re watching now, “Rising,” ax has been killed? We talk to perspectives everywhere. I suspect that it will matter to most democratic officials, perhaps except for some friends of the program who have enjoyed the interview here.
No, the end of Kolbert is so much the reason that the Democratic party likes the material: and the contents of Kolbert were firmly anti -trump. It was not just very funny.
Robbie Sowe Hill’s commentary show “Rising” and a senior editor of the Region Magazine are co-masons. This column is an edited transcription of their daily comments.
