As long as this is here it doesn't matter who posted it.

Keep pushing that red line in front of them and see who finally breaks and who doesn't.

Wow, this news article ONLY quotes Colbert. No other perspective is given and no mention of even reaching out to CBS execs for comment.

Reminder that Paramount Skydance needs approval from Trump's minions to buy Warner Bros.

Yesterday, its subsidiary CBS banned Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with TX Democrat James Talarico.

Larry Ellison is sucking up to Trump by turning his media empire into MAGA propaganda.

Did you by chance check out Corky's link with the video link?

Nice try cancel culture warrior. You don't get much more canceled than by the government. I watched the interview. Not to mention the View. Don't for get your party and I am sure hero did away with the equal time doctrine. Doesn't hurt Billionaire owning Paramount and buying Warner Bros is Ellison.
