    ("Mango Mussolini". LOL. The left spends a lot of time to find
    insults. Like the old Chinese saying goes, "The beginning of wisdom is
    to call things by their correct names." But I wonder if any of the 20
    people got past 5th grade in school.)

    Now This is Comedy: Fewer Than Two Dozen People Show Up to Protest Outside CBS
    in Support of Stephen Colbert

    by Cassandra MacDonald Jul. 28, 2025 3:20 pm

    A New York City protest in support of Stephen Colbert fizzled out in just
    minutes after only about 20 people showed up.

    The "We're With Colbert" protest, organized in response to the
    cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, was supposed to
    take place at the CBS Broadcast Center on Manhattan's West Side.

    "Our country is not perfect, never has been," said the event's organizer,
    who would only identify himself as Matt, according to a report from the
    New York Post. "But we've always had the First Amendment, and now Mango
    Mussolini is trying to take that from us."

    With "Mango Mussolini," he was referring to President Donald Trump, of
    course.

    This was not the first demonstration in Colbert's defense. Just days
    earlier, a "Save Colbert" rally was organized by the Progressive Change
    Campaign Committee. Just like Sunday's event, the protest drew just a
    couple of dozen participants.

    The rallies were mocked heavily on social media.

    CBS announced earlier this month that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
    would conclude its run in May, marking the end of a nearly decade-long
    tenure for the host.

    Network executives attributed the decision to financial pressures,
    including declining advertising revenue and shifting viewer habits in the
    late-night landscape.

    Critics, including Colbert himself, have suggested the move was
    politically motivated to appease President Trump.

    Colbert and the others have pointed to the timing, which followed
    Paramount's $16 million settlement of a lawsuit filed by Trump against CBS
    News, alleging that misleading edits were made to a 2024 interview with
    Vice President Kamala Harris during the presidential campaign.

    Colbert had decried the settlement as a "big, fat bribe" on his show.
