CBS should have a right to broadcast shows that won't make them go broke. It's NOT Trump's fault.

Yup... that had nothing to do with Colbert's ratings being crap... LOL

Oh darn, the demonrats are mad that no one wants to hear their crap anymore.

Nobody’s stopping you from breaking into the industry and starting one yourself. Come on, pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Nobody says all Americans have a right to a TV show. But the constitution protects people from the government infringing on their freedom of speech. And when trump demands that networks take down TV shows just because they make fun of him, that violates the constitution

Kimmel literally said 'Melania, you have the glow of an expected widow'. Explain to me how that's him making fun of Trump. That's WANTING HIM DEAD.

That's him joking that she wants him dead because she can't stand him

And even if he said "I wish he was dead", that's still protected speech

Simply wanting somebody dead is not in itself a crime. If it was half the population would be behind bars.

Oh, so hate speech isn’t a crime?

No

A threat on someone's life isn’t protected by the constitution. Neither is incitement to violence or harassment.

You said hate speech, you didn't say a threat on someone's life or an incitement to violence

It’s always a matter of perspective. Trump haters claim he incited violence during his 1/6 rally. Rational people know he did nothing of the sort.

No, that's joking about Melania being married to an old man who is literally rotting away in front of our eyes. Guy just got a 3-hour medical exam to make sure he's still alive.

The medical exam wasn't to see if hes still alive. It was a routine full exam they give to every president. Please use facts, logic, and reason.

Goodness gracious, you mean a simple comment like that doesn't translate into your language?
Get a better translator app then.

My gosh, guy literally thought that that meant that Trump is an actual living dead zombie.

sheesh

No Modda. English translates to English fine and you know it. As I've said before I'm a public figure. Your constant attempt to defame me just makes you look bad.
He was saying that the check up was to make sure he's alive and that's not what its for. It's for preventive maintenance so they can catch any issues before they become debilitating.

Public figure? You? My gosh, the desperation just keeps getting better.

I didn't say I was famous. I said public figure. It means your real life identity is public and easily identified. As in your online persona is tied to your real identity.

Meanwhile Biden couldn’t stop falling down the stairs, falling asleep, or even do ANYTHING USEFUL for 4 years and you called him competent

You you called Biden competent?

That is really just awesome.

Now what does you thinking that Biden was competent have to do with the festering oozing mess that Melania is married to?

YOU called him competent, not me. Sorry if there is a misunderstanding.

No you called him competent.

That comment with your name on it that says that? That's your comment with your name that says that.

Hope this clarifies things.

Why are you changing the subject?

It's called bringing up relevant information.

Here is the fact: CBS was losing $10 million / year on Colbert. They can't afford to keep his show on the air.

Trump had nothing to do with it. They would have canned him even if Harris had been elected. Stop believing the leftist propaganda.

CBS reported that the show was losing up to $50 million annually, which contributed to the decision to end the program.

Thanks for correcting me. I couldn't remember. I thought it was $10 million but you are right, it was $50 million.

Do you think a president is legally allowed to threaten a broadcast company if they air programming he doesn't like

Legally? Yes a person can say whatever they want but Trump didn't even do that.

Why would Trump go after Colbert? If Trump wanted to attack Colbert he would just rip on him like he does the media. I don't even think Colbert is in Trump's radar.

Then perhaps you should inform Trump that it is not necessary to Tweetter about Colbert endlessly at 3 am and how Kimmel is next and WABC too.

If I made an AI video of throwing someone into a dumpster because they made me mad, I think it's safe to say that that person is on my radar

A quick Google search will show you that trump has always complained about liberal comedians who make fun of him on late night TV. That's the whole reason he demanded that Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert be fired in the first place.

All Google searches will tell liberals exactly what they want to know. Their search algorithm was written to spit out all of the links to liberal info. It used to be that anything conservative would show up on page 10 or higher but now that is not true any more.

In fact, nearly all search engines skew left. Brave's search engine gives you the option of searching left or right but their AI is about the worst liberal propaganda machine of all of the AI's out there.

BUT I have absolutely no doubt that Trump made fun of Colbert and Kimmel. That is not the same thing is telling CBS to can Colbert.

$10 million? Chicken feed. You vouldn't even buy part of a ballroom for that. 😜

If money is so meaningless to you, then I'll take my $10 million dollars now.

They've cancelled TV shows for much less.

Nonsense, they never brought up the issue because it wasn't an issue. And if it was an issue, proposing cuts in the budget would the logical first approach

Nonsense. They constantly brought up the issue because it was an issue. And because it was an issue, they tried budget cuts and firing everyone was the only logical approach.

No, they never did. Until Trump told them to.

The money loss figure was also made up for that occasion. Up until then Colbert was their biggest draw and money maker after primetime.

Trump didn’t tell CBS to cancel Colbert. He did say they shouldn’t wait until May to cancel him - after CBS had already announced the show’s cancelation.

Correct, Trump had Paramount have CBS cancel Colbert as part of his settlement when he sued them for whatever cancel culture item of the week and also as part of that big spiked club of a carrot he was shaking at them which was the federal approval needed for their $8 billion merger hopes with Skydance Media.

Trump never said that Jimmy Kimmel is next while bragging about canceling Colbert either.

That's what I never got about humans, they scheme all these triumphantly wicked plans of retribution but always backpedal when so much as in old granny glares at them for it.

If somebody wants to shake their big manly man-sized nuts, then by all means, be loud and proud and shake those big manly man-sized nuts. Wanna be a man? Be a man. If not? Then not. It's just that simple.

Trump is the king of the world and he's worried about some 86lb pencil necked geeks in NYU holding signs protesting the cancellation of Colbert. ICE? Iced. Alligator Alcatraz? Closing. A negative article in the Kalamazoo Gazette and Capt Small Hands/Balls is running for cover as if his spray tan is going to fall off.

Humans are so weak.

Yeah, he acts immature lashing out at anyone who criticizes or makes fun of him and always wants to have the last word. People think that when Trump expresses his opinion about what should happen to has been comedians, like Colbert, it’s a direct order from the White House - as if the president sits on the CBS board of directors.

Colbert had the top show in that slot, and millions of followers watching on YouTube as well. He had that large budget given to him by CBS in the first place because he was such a success.

Check out the ratings now that Byron Allen's Unleashed has replaced him in that slot. Nothing against Byron Allen, I started watching the show a year or two ago as well, but it isn't like mission accomplished with that solution to the viewer audience draw problem.

Maybe the reason CBS was losing money was because of Colbert’s salary and other expensive production costs. Byron Allen’s show might cost a lot less to produce.

Colbert's show was definitely more lavish.
With Byron Allen, he has a new group of 4 comedians per show sit there and they all trade jokes. So it's pretty basic and lower cost. Colbert started off with a fake commercial or political announcement or some other sort of video taped gag or song having to do with the politics of that day. So that itself was costly. Byron Allen has a marine fish tank in the background. That's it.

But the question everybody asks is why didn't CBS at least try or propose to trim the extra bits and scale back the budget.

Do you seriously think anyone in the entertainment industry would ever do anything Trump might want them to do? The entertainment industry is 99% radical leftist. Leftists have been trying to block Trump every step of the way. Because they're idiots.

Goodness, fella, you have to find something more than just 3 words to build every comment around. It doesn't bore you just repeating the same thing no matter how much it doesn't apply?

It's right here on your meme.

I was wondering where I put that. Now what were we talking about?
