Trump gloated on Truth Social, “I absolutely love that Colbert got fired.” Real mature, FDT!

CBS removing anti Trump comedian Stephen Colbert from the air under pressure from Trump is an extremely serious matter.
This is a direct attack on freedom of the press by the president of the USA.
This cannot be allowed to pass.

Stephen Colbert's Cancellation Is Exactly What It Looks Like Mock a Trump bribe on Monday, get canceled by Thursday. The Late Show's death reveals how billionaires and presidents are reshaping American media.

“That's why his final monologue about the settlement was so dangerous to CBS's incoming overlords. Colbert didn't just criticize the payment; he named it for what it was.” www.readtpa.com/p/stephen-co...

Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

Even against all of Trump's cascading attacks over the past seven months, it had seemed that up until now, our culture at large—the literal shows, movies, art, music, literature we consume—seemed somewhat siloed from Trump's fury.

But the end of Colbert marks a dark new stage.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

Looking at the video feeds, and listening to the commentary, those are LA area cops dispersing the crowd, and are between the crowd, and the National Guard, and the Marines. They may be keeping the crowd from interacting with armed Marines, who have real bullets.

Splitscreen ... while Trump's military parade takes place in DC, police and National Guard engage with protesters in Los Angeles, after an unlawful assembly was declared during the No Kings protest ...
