Nolte: Stephen Colbert Was Propped Up by $160 Million in Left-Wing Affirmative ActionJohn Nolte 21 Jul 2025
The news that Stephen Colbert’s Late Show lost $40 million per year going all the way back to 2021 (and maybe earlier), is another example of just how corrupt CBS is.
CBS lost — lost! — at least $160 million to keep Colbert on the air.
Why?
It’s not as though Colbert brought prestige to the network. It’s not as though Colbert penetrated the culture in some way. No, all Colbert did was turn the Late Show into yet another hour of a CNN-like show anchored by yet another smug, smarmy, unfunny, and unappealing host.
Actually, it was worse than that…
Colbert (along with Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon) degraded Late Night into Resistance TV, Establishment TV, Anti-Trump TV, Pussyhat TV… And CBS —using airwaves owned by We The People — was so eager to spread leftist propaganda, it was willing to lose at least $160 million to keep it pumping.
CBS obviously believed it was worth any amount to over-produce what was basically an hour of MSNBC, hoping that the Late Night imprimatur would disguise this propaganda as hip and cool entertainment—and therefore sell it through the back door.
Bottom line: CBS is guilty of flushing $160 million down a toilet, hoping to sway and influence public opinion on behalf of the Democrat Party.
Which means CBS is lying when it claims it canceled Colbert and the Late Show franchise based on economics.
If CBS cared about economics, it would have either 1) canceled Colbert years ago or 2) forced the tool to retool his show into something people might actually want to watch.
An honest business concerned about economics doesn’t flush $40 million down the toilet in 2021 and then say “Carry on.” An honest business concerned about economics sure as hell doesn’t flush $120 million down the toilet and then say “Carry on.”
But that’s precisely what CBS did.
Good heavens, on the very night of the Late Show’s cancellation, who did Colbert have as his top guest?
