You NEGOTIATE!
Which is how we know that CBS canceled the "Late Show" for political reasons.
Let me see now... You take a top producer, a revenue positive show, and you cancel it willy-nilly?
Let's say income is down. Then like the news outlets, you renegotiate the contracts with the talent, you give them the option of staying at less remuneration. But not here!
And then CBS puts out a press release saying the decision was purely financial. Then why don't you publish the figures? OF COURSE YOU WON'T, BECAUSE THE SHOW IS MAKING MONEY!
Welcome to Trumpworld, where the truth is irrelevant and you lie with impunity.
And they're coming for you next.
Just like Trump said he was coming for Rosie O'Donnell.
Does he have the right to? Not under the Constitution, but the Supreme Court has been giving him a green light on so many questionable things.
But you, sitting at home, are you really going to utter or write anti-Trump venom? Colbert can afford to lose his job, can you? You probably have to keep your mouth shut.
Is this another Kaepernick situation?
In a normal world, another network would immediately scarf up Colbert, he's the ratings victor. But will competitors hold back for fear of pissing off Trump?
And don't depend on the law to save you, there's the aforementioned bogus, biased Supreme Court and the lawyers settled with Trump... It ain't about what is right or wrong, but the MONEY!
Trumpers think they're immune. But Trump can turn on a dime, suddenly the Epstein files are a Democratic hoax perpetrated on the Republicans. You're just grist for the mill, you don't matter, freedom my ass.
In Constitutional law there's the concept of the chilling effect. Whether a law will cause people not to act, even if the action is legal, for fear of consequences.
It's a cold winter in America already.
When you have to think twice before you speak up.
What's next? What other unthinkable domino will fall?
Cut the weather people, undermine FEMA, get rid of the Department of Education...
It ain't funny.
