Message   Digimaus    All   Supporting Stephen Colbert?   July 28, 2025
 11:16 PM *  

("Mango Mussolini".  LOL.  The left spends a lot of time to find
insults.  Like the old Chinese saying goes, "The beginning of wisdom is
to call things by their correct names."  But I wonder if any of the 20
people got past 5th grade in school.)

 Now This is Comedy: Fewer Than Two Dozen People Show Up to Protest Outside CBS
                         in Support of Stephen Colbert

              by Cassandra MacDonald Jul. 28, 2025 3:20 pm

  A New York City protest in support of Stephen Colbert fizzled out in just
  minutes after only about 20 people showed up.

   The "We're With Colbert" protest, organized in response to the
   cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, was supposed to
   take place at the CBS Broadcast Center on Manhattan's West Side.

   "Our country is not perfect, never has been," said the event's organizer,
   who would only identify himself as Matt, according to a report from the
   New York Post. "But we've always had the First Amendment, and now Mango
   Mussolini is trying to take that from us."

   With "Mango Mussolini," he was referring to President Donald Trump, of
   course.

   This was not the first demonstration in Colbert's defense. Just days
   earlier, a "Save Colbert" rally was organized by the Progressive Change
   Campaign Committee. Just like Sunday's event, the protest drew just a
   couple of dozen participants.

   The rallies were mocked heavily on social media.

     CBS may be forced to pay Stephen Colbert to resume his failing TV show
     after this MASSIVE sea of protesters showed up at the HQ

   CBS announced earlier this month that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
   would conclude its run in May, marking the end of a nearly decade-long
   tenure for the host.

   Network executives attributed the decision to financial pressures,
   including declining advertising revenue and shifting viewer habits in the
   late-night landscape.

   Critics, including Colbert himself, have suggested the move was
   politically motivated to appease President Trump.

   Colbert and the others have pointed to the timing, which followed
   Paramount's $16 million settlement of a lawsuit filed by Trump against CBS
   News, alleging that misleading edits were made to a 2024 interview with
   Vice President Kamala Harris during the presidential campaign.

   Colbert had decried the settlement as a "big, fat bribe" on his show.
