Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

"Late-night legend David Letterman knocked leaders at CBS and its parent company as "lying weasels" in a new interview with The New York Times where he called BS on claims "Late Night with Stephen Colbert" was canceled for purely financial reasons. "He was dumped because the people selling the network to Skydance said, Oh no, there's not going to be any trouble with that guy,'" Letterman said. "We're going to take care of the show. We're just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry?'"

It is just a TV show but censorship is what we knew happens in Russia and China but not here. Well, we were wrong!

I found the show's close rather wistful, the Sullivan Theater inside a snow globe, the chime playing the show's theme song. If there is any real karma in this world, I hope this bites CBS/Paramount where it hurts most...greatly reduced viewership and the resultant loss of ad revenue. For those not paying attention, this sad episode of naked censorship will undoubtedly change broadcast television from this point on.

As promised Paramount + canceled.

I am gonna miss Jon Stuart (he's also on paramount). Guess I will just have to catch him on the YouTubes.

Why pay for CBS when an antenna gets it for free?

**** Catholic League Slimes Stephen Colbert ****

"Stephen Colbert offended Catholicism. It's time the media stopped portraying him as a poor Catholic soul who was victimized by corporate greed."

~snip~

Bet $50 Stephen Colbert is the first guest on SNL in a few months.
