This writer would like to apologize for the glut of posts about "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" being canceled, even though it will stay on the air until next May. He never watched the show; everything he knew about the show came from reading Twitchy posts about Colbert — that was the only entertainment he gleaned from the show.
All of the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Democrats and the leftist media just proves that they knew the show was heavily liberally biased — they'd be cheering if it were a conservative getting canceled. As we've covered, Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she's launched an investigation into Colbert being canceled. Sen. Amy Cloburchar, Gov. Tim Walz, and Sen. Bernie Sanders all posted their condolences to "a brilliant host and an even better person." "the best in the business," and an "extraordinary talent." Hakeem Jeffries saluted Colbert for always speaking truth to power and never bending the knee to a wannabe king.
Noam Blum (@neontaster) compiled a list of Colbert's guests in 2024:
Notice a pattern? John Fetterman is the closest he came to giving a conservative a platform.
Now, following Warren, Sen. Chris Murphy has put out an emergency video warning that we're "on the precipice of entering a censorship state." Murphy proves to be a better comedian than Colbert, claiming that CBS settled a "totally bogus lawsuit that they would have won in a walk in court." If that's true, why didn't they take it to trial instead of settling? To avoid discovery, that's why.
This editor couldn't make it through the whole two minutes; perhaps you have a stronger constitution.
Again, they're flat-out admitting that Colbert was politically biased. He only spoke truth to power when Trump was in office.
A censorship state? CBS canceled the show, not the Trump administration.
If it were true that they were trying to mollify Trump by canceling Colbert, they'd take him off the air now, not next May.
The Constitution guaranteed Stephen Colbert a late-night television show. Now his rights are being violated.
