In today's post for @medium, I discuss canceling #ParamountPlus after their rollback of #DEI, months before they canceled #StephenColbert.

Here's a link to bypass the paywall:

just going to leave this here
from jon stewart accepting the mark twain prize in 2022:

"It’s not the fragility of audiences, it’s not the woke police that are going to be anexistential threat to comedy, it’s not the Fresh Prince, it's the Crown Prince.
It’s not the fragility of audiences, it’s the fragility of leaders. Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether.
We are the banana peel in the coal mine. When a society is under threat comedians are the ones who get sent away first.
Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to poetry, to progress."

-Jon Stewart

"Worse than Hitler" used to be an comical over-exaggeration but it's 2026 and here we are....

#Trump #StephenColbert #Hitler #PopeLeo

Later in his monologue, Colbert touched briefly on Trump's ongoing criticism
of the pope, whom he has called a “loser”.

“According to one Italian religious historian, not even Hitler or Mussolini
attacked the pope so directly and publicly,” Colbert noted, before adding:
“It’s never great when someone says, ‘You should really be more discreet and
respectful. You know, like Hitler.”

WHAT?!!?!!?!? Once the one and only show worth watching on CBS is no more, CBS will be tossed into the brand graveyard for me. #FCBS

#StephenColbert’s top-rated late-night TV program goes off the air for the final time Thursday, effectively silencing a high-profile #Trump critic.

“The legacy of this show needs to be that we remember it as the show that was canceled because a presidential administration wanted it off the air,” says Heather Hendershot, a professor of #communication studies & #journalism at Northwestern University.

Just a reminder, President Zelensky

president. Stephen Colbert, your
move.
