I don't think we're obliged to care when the corporate press fires one of their paid propagandists.

Trump 2016 truly was the death of comedy
I figured this was the real reason. I knew Colbert's numbers were terrible and that late night shows were down in general.

The format is dead but it could have had another few years. Trump broke these guys as he did many people.
Its still wild to watch even though its been almost 10 years now. I guess what is most wild to me is how small the index card of allowable opinion actually is. What would these clowns do with an actual radical with principle?

It might actually break their brains less. Trump’s lack of clear principles make him a blank canvas. His supporters paint everything they like on him and his opponents paint everything they hate.

Finally heard his comments/jokes. Reading it didn't hit the same way as hearing it. Its subjective but I can see why an owner of a network of stations would be ready to drop this guy. It was in bad taste for sure.
I think if it was just about Trump he would still have his job. But with all the celebration of Kirk's death there is no way ABC wants this on them.
