NEW YORK CITY — In a stunning example of rampant fascism, a TV network cancelled a show that wasn't making any money and had terrible ratings.

"The Colbert Show spoke truth to power and its cancelation is a chilling example of the fascism that's growing every day here in the U.S.A.," online culture blogger Danielle Swanson wrote this week. "With Colbert off the air, there will not be one single late-night host left who will criticize Trump. Fascism has won,"

CBS announced this week it was cancelling The Late Show starring Steven Colbert, stating it was purely a business decision due to no watching the show and its losing $40 million every year. However, journalists and Democratic politicians argued that the show's 100-million-dollar budget had nothing to do with the cancellation and place the blame squarely at the feet of the Trump administration.

"My losing the company tens of millions of dollars every year is textbook fascism," said Colbert. "That dastardly Trump has done it again!"

At publishing time, CBS had informed Colbert he could still cry and screech for 90 minutes every night, he just would no longer be on camera or get paid.
