Media Swooning Over Colbert’s Farewell Says … Everything
He's an Avenger! He's America's Priest! He's ... Losing CBS Millions!
Avengers like Ant Man can shrink to the size of an insect or smash anything in sight like The Hulk.
But wait … Stephen Colbert is an Avenger of sorts, too!
So says USA Today, part of the Legacy Media’s fawning farewell tour for Colbert and his hard-Left “Late Show” showcase.
Brian Stelter is in mourning over Colbert’s show coming to an end:
“It just made the world a little less bleak…that’s what we’re losing in this country.”
Yep, somehow the country is going to have to find a way to soldier on, despite one less hour of resistance lib programming… pic.twitter.com/0rukCoxBho

Tonight marks the final new episode of the late-night series. Tomorrow, a cheaper, less divisive program takes its slot – “Comics Unleashed.”
Colbert has been a consequential pop culture figure, no doubt. To read the Legacy Media’s tributes to him suggests something … superheroic.
Hardly.
But no one handles politics with the reassuringly smiling delivery of Colbert. He’s like Errol Flynn as Robin Hood, but in a dapper suit, mocking his daunting opponents while keeping his swashbuckler grin intact.
You should see Colbert dodge and weave when faced with a president who couldn’t share a coherent thought on a debate stage. Flynn couldn’t match that sense of style and dignity!
And this embarrassing piece wasn’t alone.
The far-Left L.A. Times compared Colbert, an alleged Catholic, to a priest. Really.
“We will miss the divine and very human ministry of Stephen Colbert,” reads the headline. Was that why he called President Trump the “c*** holster” for Vladimir Putin? Or laughed at blue-collar Americans for protesting against draconian lockdown mandates that crushed their livelihoods?
Doesn’t seem very spiritual, does it?
Remember all the times Father Colbert railed against progressives for supporting abortion on demand? Me, neither.
The far-Left AP, once a fair and balanced platform, says Colbert’s cancellation leaves a “void.”
Really?
Where will we find another late-night show to attack President Trump … beyond “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “The Tonight Show,” “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” “The Daily Show,” “Real Time with Bill Maher” and “Last Week Tonight?”
GOODBYE STEPHEN COLBERT: THE END OF CHEAP FAKE LIES
GOODBYE STEPHEN COLBERT: THE VAX SCENE CRINGE-FEST
GOODBYE STEPHEN COLBERT: REVIVING VERY FINE PEOPLE HOAX
The AP article should be studied for its chronic bias. It’s a stunning document, one that leaves out that “The Late Show” was hurting CBS to the tune of $40 million a year. Or the fact that the same company that fired Colbert for allegedly mocking President Trump gave more than a $1 billion to the “South Park” duo who spent the last year mocking President Trump.
How in the world do those facts duck your final draft?
It begs an obvious question. Why are we seeing this over-the-top praise and endless tributes for a late-night talker? Colbert’s far-Left shtick reflected the media’s far-Left mentality.
Period.
As bad as most political reporters are today, and they are borderline corrupt in their inability to tell the full truth, they could never go as far as Colbert could each night.
Oh, they wanted to so very badly. But they clung to a pretense of neutrality, one anyone with eyes could see right through.
So they did the next best thing. Two things, actually. Three, really.
- They never labeled him as a progressive
- They regurgitated his every quip to attack President Trump and/or the GOP
- They downplayed or ignored the fact that his show was costing CBS $40 million a year
That’s why we’re seeing a national mourning for “The Late Show’s” cancellation. And, in the Death of Shame, they can’t see what they’ve become.
Shows all kinds of smarts to make a point of alienating half of your potential audience.
Good riddance.
Compared to Carson or Leno the late night of Colbert went very very bad. Colbert was not funny and played Left Democrat Politics that killed a good section of the base, Further the loss of money his show caused stunned me that he was on for so long. Usually if that happens a show is cut quickly no matter if the network has to pay people.
It’s true that the liberal media lapdogs are in lock-step with all the late night activists. Their common ground was hating anything that President Donald Trump does or says, despite normal Americans supporting him & what we put him in office to dismantle. They are all in bed together, including Hollyweird, Musicians, Print & Online Media, Mainstream News and all the fraudulent, crooked politicians they support. America-loving people are delighted to see one of these unfunny losers exit their unnecessary platform, and we welcome the others following them out the door. Can’t they just be entertaining without going 100% political? The previous hosts poked a little fun at politicians ON BOTH SIDES, but it never was the main staple of the entire show, like it is now & is why so many of us stopped watching. Being insulted every night wasn’t funny & still isn’t (Kimmel).
Colbert has class. Republicans have, . . Putin? Epstein? Threats?
Epstein was a Democrat and Putin is anti-Western, George.
Colbert never raped little girls.
Since the article was mainly about Colbert and Trump
which one was a child rapist??
This is why the mainstream media needs defunding.
Jealous of real talent?
“Reassuringly smiling delivery”? Am I on Candid Camera?
I was thinking more along the lines of “Smug, arrogant pomposity.”
