Losing a lot of money is bad business.
Getting some brownie points with the Administration while a merger is being reviewed is good business.

I find it odd that MAGA cheers this on and doesn't see that what they are doing is recreating the press freedom and freedom of speech of Russia for americans in america.

Yeah, suck the dick who is fucking you up the ass like a good Cult Cuck!
I thought this was mindless and self-indulgent humor from Colbert. It's pretty weak as far as genuine laughs. I'm fairly sure we will have some members tell us it's hysterical. Is repeating go fuck yourself really the foundation for a comedy show?
lmao.
There is a competitive business that pays them handsomely.
If I had a friend that was drawing $15 million a year for heading a show that loses $40 million, I would say enjoy it while it lasts Stephen.
The interesting thing is that I believe Colbert's ratings were bad and Trump's election in 2016 gave his show some life.
It was quite infantile. I love humor directed at Trump and anyone, but this was just an outburst masquerading as humor.lmao.
It is an appropriate response to Trump's infantile attack on Colbert, partly to distract from the Epstein files.
And the bluntness was quite funny.
That's pretty much an oxymoron.
Bluntness can be a lot of things but funny is really not one of them.
It is not an oxymoron.
It most definitely is funny in this context.
That's just your sense of humour being different.
Bluntness deployed in the right way is very funny to some people.
De gustibus non est disputandum and all that.
I believe the format is essentially dead. Young people would rather watch YouTube. The podcast is the new format. Funny enough, the long form interview, with clips for shorter attention spans, is now king.
And Colbert was never a "talk show" guy. The Colbert Report was fantastic. Remember that was on for ten years. But he was always a political commentator.
The last great talk show is imo the Graham Norton show out of Britain. Witty, informative, great guest mix. He puts a few belts into them to loosen them up. Does research. And no politics. Which is what people really want. And his clips go viral. Increasing online revenue, and driving traffic to live shows.
Trump always has ratings, bad news generally does.
