"What He Said Was Unacceptable": CBS Reportedly "Very Close" to Immediately Firing Late Night Star After Controversial Outburst

You reap what you sow in the world, and CBS' decision to cancel 'The Late Show' is proof of that.

Anyone who has tuned into The Late Show last week will notice that host Stephen Colbert has been acting a little more…let’s say controversially than usual. Like most late night talk show hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, Colbert has always been gleefully delighted to take swipes at a certain businessman-turned-president, but since the announcement that his show was being canceled next year, Colbert has been even more derogatory towards President Trump than normal and network bosses are really, really not happy. Diddums.

On his first show after the cancellation of The Late Show was announced, Colbert labeled himself “a martyr” when slamming Trump’s social media postscelebrating the cancellation and warning other “untalented” talk show hosts that they could be next. During the same show, Colbert told Trump to “Go f-ck yourself.”

While the studio audience – and many viewers - clearly agreed with the eloquent sentiment, the show’s bosses did not. Now it looks like Colbert may not even make it to the end of the series next year, as, according to journalist Rob Shuter, there have been words had with Colbert, and they have come “very close” to pulling him off-air. After reportedly calling an emergency meeting the morning after Colbert’s show aired, two senior executives reportedly said:

“He's daring us to fire him. And honestly? We’re close to doing it. He’s been warned. What he said was unacceptable. There are real consequences this time.”

Anyone else here remember when I was called names when I proposed that the government break up the social media companies that are feeding the majority of our citizens crap information have been silent over the last 6 months? Wonder why?

We’re canceling comedians, prosecutors, professors and colleges, and news agencies because they’re providing inconveniences to our ruling leader and party. “wHaT aBoUt FrEe SpEeCh?”

I was curious so I googled.
It appears to be accurate.
Here is a long article about the paramount/trump stuff and I found this part: And that concession of the media monitor is really serious, because what they're saying is that they are going to self-censor basically for ideological purity according to what this administration likes and to report only in the way this administration likes. Apparently, bias is anything this administration doesn't like. And that is what they're promising not to show anymore to their consumers.

What we know is that this monitor will report directly to the president and will field complaints about the news and about other issues with the programming.

I was told that rainbow books at libraries and proposals to regulate the social media telling people to not get vaccinated was the real threat to free speech.

What 500 year war has Trump solved?

One day were all going to get as old as Trump, if we're lucky. I just hope that when that happens none of us are the President of the United States of America.

You could almost feel sorry for Keir Starmer having to listen to him but Starmer is a prick too.
 
I have seen trump complain a lot about decisions Jerome Powell makes in regards to interest rates.
I wonder if trump knows that Jerome Powell doesn't decide what the interest rates are. Is trump that dumb? Probably.
FWIW interest rates are decided by the Federal Open Market Committee. This committee is made up of 12 different people who all vote on whether the rates should be increased or decreased.
trump seems to think that its all decided by Powell and that if trump could just get rid of Powell then the interest rates would come down. trump is an idiot.

Trump just generally doesn't know how things work. That would be fine if he was self aware enough to know that, but he thinks his 4th grade level of general knowledge is elite super brain levels of knowledge and that no one could possibly know more than him about anything.

The sad thing is that apparently about 1/3 of the U.S. has a 3rd grade level of general understanding and are astounded by Trump's 4th grade level of understanding.

Yep. Go back to our discussion about Trump's intelligence. He's at least as smart as half of Americans, and it shows.
