Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said the public "deserves to know" whether CBS’s decision to cancel "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" on Thursday was politically motivated. "Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better," Schiff wrote. (Snip) Warren added, "CBS canceled Colbert’s show just Three Days after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if

Elected officials burning the Midnight Oil.....
Very recently, "Pocahontas" has gone from burning the Midnight Oil to talking about Socialist grocery stores in NYC.
Don't worry Massachusetts, she may talk about you.

When you're running a late-night talk show and your "lead guest" is Adam Schiff, you should be cancelled.
Why the show isn't being cancelled tomorrow vs May 2026 is beyond me. It's the longest wake in history. Reruns of Young Sheldon or The Honeymooners would be more profitable than the $40 million loss from Colbert's idiocy.

And what if it is? What authority do these losers have to even question it? CBS is a private company; it can hire and fire who it wants, as long as they follow the law. Do they want to force companies to pass a purity test in order to exist? (Yes, probably, but they'd never come out and admit it.)

Late night was for comedy. These "message" rants are not amusing. Audiences left them.
Fools Schiff and Waren just pulled back the curtain and confirmed what everyone already believed.

Senator Pocahontas has already established her lack knowledge. If CBS was making money they’d keep Colbert. But Democrats like Warren think money isn’t important unless it’s theirs.

Schiff is probably PO'd beaus he was used as the example of how unfunny Colbert's show had become. Gutfeld - cleaning up the ratings - is political but not these two's flavor. Democrats and liberalism are decidedly unfunny, not entertaining/

What do you do, Lieawatha, that doesn't involve "political reasons"? Anything? How are you going to account for your mendacious life when you shuffle off this mortal coil? Your whole career is based on a lie about your heritage. What don't you lie about? Credulity, zero. Get lost, fake Injun.

Expect to see Jesse Watters, The Five, and Gutfeld mention and mock this little nanny tirade today.

Cancelled for political reasons? So what. We have seen people losing their jobs for years because they didn't toe the leftist political position. Conservative employees at the big woke corporations had to hide their political leanings, keep their mouths shut or expect a call from HR. I suspect Colbert made too much money and the show, given the ratings, just couldn't be financially justified anymore.

Believe they publicly announced it was for "economic reasons" so what do they think they need to "investigate" or is this another manufactured excuse to not do your actual jobs?
If people weren't forced to buy scores of channels as part of their cable subscription, those extremely low rated shows would never exist in a normal economic market.
But since everyone pays X amount for each channel everyone is subsidizing all of those low rated channels.
Almost sounds like collusion that people are forced to buy something they may not want or desire. And this is not a manufactured "tax" like SCOTUS twisted to ensure Obamacare could remain either.

Bug-Eyes and LiaWatha are spouting lies and nonsense as usual.
After all, their favorite All Barack Channel already quoted:
"This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," George Cheeks, the president of CBS and co-chief executive of Paramount, CBS's parent company, wrote in a press release. "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."
So there! The AllBarackChannel wouldn't LIE, would they?
The grand poo-bah at the See-"Bee-Ess" network wouldn't LIE, would he?
It's a FINANCIAL Decision! He said so!
Of course, when what was supposed to be a late-night comedy and entertainment show has for years been an unfunny political attack hack job, and people are no longer watching, and advertisers are refusing to buy ads, then it IS a 'Financial Decision'.
This, along with the Taxpayer funding being withdrawn from National Propaganda Radio...... It's a GOOD DAY today!
I think #4 Hits the Nail on the Head!

So the show costs $100 million annually to produce, and is losing $40 million annually. It’s clear CBS is canceling it for financial reasons. It’s also pretty likely that POLITICAL reasons are the only reasons they’ve continued the show for as long as they have. Does this answer your questions, Senator Fauxcahontas?

SeeBS, which has never done the right thing, will gravel at Lieawatha and Pencil Dork Schiff's feet. Instead, they should tell these two to pound sand. The reality is the show is being cancelled for political reasons. Duh! The show issue political it can't draw an audience. It's so left wing the majority of potential viewers would rather watch 2003 reruns of the QVC channel. Politic s killed the "Late Show'. And the US public deserves serious elected representatives, not showboaters like Lieawatha and Pencil Dork Schiff. The vast majority of potential viewers chose (like in their rights) to ignore the Late Show. Because nobody watches, it's unaffordable to SeeBS. So yes, it's political. But more so, it's economics. People have choices with Podcast and other streaming outlets. Hardcore leftist media was a staple of the Big Three and DeMS-13 for generations. The market has changes and so too must SeeBS. Lieawatha and Pencil Dork Schiff need to sit down and shut up cause the vast majority of the public could care less about SeeBS's loser late night show.

That's funny. For years I thought Senate Republicans should investigate liberal bias of CBS/Colbert. We're even.

Of course they aren't... All of CBS agrees politically with (the unfunny, un-entertaining Colbert. They are ending the show because they are losing sixty million dollars per year on it.
But even if Colbert WAS being fired for 'political reasons'.... It is none of Schiff's and Warren' dang business.

A simple google search on Colbert’s ratings would explain why his show got cancelled. Schiff and Warren were big contributors to the reasons no one watched it.

Crooked, leftist politicians lie, Stephen Colbert lies, so... He and Jimmy Kimmel put the "un" in unfunny. At least we weren't forced to pay for their stupid shows.

Who cares what these two grifters think? They need to be cancelled as well. Both of them are poseurs. Paramount is a business and can cancel whatever they want; they don't owe these two snakes anything; and, they certainly don't speak for US.

Colbert may think he's an entertainer and host, but he's really a cheerleader.
Besides, he's Caucasian. They're all Caucasian males.
It's high time we had a certified Alphabet entity (I won't say 'person,' that may offend one.)
Talk shows that look like America; that's what we need.

Its not just Colbert being let go its the 200 plus crew that it takes to put on the show. The 200 is where the real costs are. Soon CBS can start a new show with a few writers that doesn't burn so much money.
