CBS announced that Stephen Colbert’s late night talk show is being cancelled. He’s billed as a “comedian”, and although I’ve only seen clips and bits and pieces of his show, he seems more like a hate monger spewing one sided political attacks than funny.
This follows the recent firings of Joy Reid, Katie Phang, and Alex Wagner at several others at MSNBC. The formerly high flying angry lesbian Rachel Madow had her nightly show relegated to once per week.
Several CNN hosts have been fired over the past year, including the notorious race baiter Don Lemon.
The View is managing to hang on but recently lost its number one ratings slot to a FOX daytime show.

last comment"... he seems more like a hate monger spewing one sided political attacks than funny."
Interesting take on Colbert. That's what I love about this discussion board, I get to see/hear things that are foreign to me.
And no, I'm not taking a cheap shot at your position.....I find it fascinating, not angering or frustrating that you see it that way.

I recall when the left wrung their hands that they couldn't find another Rush Limbaugh, now it's another Joe Rogan or similar.
Perhaps even the left is tired of hearing Trump Bad Trump Bad Trump Bad Trump Bad repeated a thousand times in unoriginal fashion?

^the left wing youtubers and podcasters have recently been cheering joe rogan… maybe for the past month. Originally because of Israel/iran, more recently because he was complaining about trump and the epstein files etc.

@Chunky - The left can be led like a dog on a leash by simply saying "Trump hates this!"
News of Pepsi replacing high fructose corn syrup with cane sugar has the left-wing media defending high fructose corn syrup! Can you fucking believe it?

Colbert was an enthusiastic cheerleader for Fauci (fucking creep) and the vaccine. He lost his subversive / culture critic card for me.

I hope Kimmel is next. Need to see him cry on camera once more.
