Fuck CBS, Paramount, Ellison. This is no "financial decision." It is Trump taking over American media. This is Hungary. This is disgusting.

@jeffjarvis send him a 1 way ticket to NZ - He can be our advertising man
@jeffjarvis Well, it's a financial decision of a sort... Financial suicide. 😏
@jeffjarvis This was inevitable once CBS took a knee in front of the King.
@jeffjarvis The fukkin man-child is trying to eliminate ALL opposition as in FASCISM 101
@jeffjarvis @inthehands The financial part being how Trump will screw them if they don't follow his orders?
@jeffjarvis Financial reasons?! Caving to DT. Colbert will be just fine. He has a strong following and doesn’t need CBS. CBS on the other hand will suffer.
@jeffjarvis Between this and not funding PBS this is certainly the end of democracy.
@jeffjarvis the media is obsessed with ratings not facts
@jeffjarvis I think Strike Force Five (thunder) needs a comeback.
@jeffjarvis the world knows what needs to happen.
@jeffjarvis
Lemme guess. Julie Chen will host a new one called "Late Night Investing in Christ's Crypto for Blessed Bombs for Israel with Julie Chen".

@jeffjarvis it'd be funny if Colbert ran for political office in exchange:)
@jeffjarvis Goebbels playbook, planned TikTok takeover.
@jeffjarvis yeah but who watches TV anymore?
@jeffjarvis
let's boycott CBS except for The Late Show

@jeffjarvis this makes me so angry and so sad. Steven Colbert is my very favorite show.
@jeffjarvis Have you _been_ to his shows? He's just not as funny as he used to be. Once his warmup comic even joked about that at a different event. You have to be funny in that business.
@jeffjarvis Financial decision, my ass.
From April 29, 2025
...Beyond primetime, CBS is poised to dominate broadcast in Late Night and Daytime. THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT is the #1 program in Late Night for the ninth consecutive season...

@jeffjarvis Screw CBS wherever he goes, I’ll be right there.
@jeffjarvis "Fuck CBS, Paramount, Ellison. This is no "financial decision." It is Trump taking over American media"
After fox News now also CBS is taken over by the MAGA fake news circus.

Mass media are dead. That's what I've been writing about the last decade and a half. Good riddance. Trump will control the husk of what once was, as worthless as he. We must fight for an open internet as our last stand.
@jeffjarvis even that is too late now. The rich already control the internet too. Fascism is exactly that: power grabbed by the rich
@jeffjarvis Just looked and Colbert was top rated in Nielsen ratings, with a growing viewership. This is bullshit.
@jeffjarvis I watch 4 shows/people periodically (on Youtube)
- Jon Stewart
- Stephen Colbert
- Jimmy Kimmel
- Seth Meyers
He's starting to silence his most watched critics and robs me of a quarter of my quality time during lunch breaks.
One more reason to hate him.
Variety tiptoes: Ellison "has projected an image of being intrigued by the politics espoused by President Donald Trump." Yeesh.
@jeffjarvis you know who his dad is
@jeffjarvis
I'm waiting for Monday when either Jon Stewart isn't on or he announces the end of The Daily Show
@jeffjarvis
What a grotesque sentence. You mean interested in fascism? You mean he's a fascist?
@jeffjarvis I hope they both open a media company. This is beyond bad.
@jeffjarvis WHAT?!!?!??!?!
@jeffjarvis Craven cowards, every one. Fuck them all.
