Colbert Protest Bombs: The Market Has Spoken

📝 DESCRIPTION
Colbert Protest Bombs: The Market Has Spoken.

Fewer than 20 people showed up to protest the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert outside CBS Studios. Despite loud online chatter and claims of a “free speech attack,” the real story isn’t suppression—it’s rejection. CBS didn’t silence Colbert; they simply stopped funding a show losing $40 million annually. That’s not censorship. That’s basic economics.

What’s more telling than the numbers is the mood. Chants like “Colbert stays, Trump must go” landed with a thud. Viewers aren’t rallying to save partisan late-night comedy—they’ve already moved on. Legacy television is no longer the cultural stronghold it once was, and ideological lecturing under the guise of humor isn’t pulling crowds—it’s pushing them away.

Free speech protects your right to speak, not your right to be profitable, popular, or aired on a corporate network. The protest didn’t affirm Colbert’s relevance; it exposed how out of step elite entertainers have become with the public pulse.

This isn’t about right or left—it’s about resonance. Americans are tired of condescension. They want content that respects their time, their intelligence, and their freedom to laugh without being lectured.

📺 Is partisan late-night comedy finally over?
💰 Should networks subsidize ideology over profitability?
