I’ll note that Colbert has the highest viewership (and therefore ad revenue) in his time slot. This is almost surely about the Ellison family, which now controls CBS, wanting to silence him.

    He can. 10 million YouTube subscribers if comedy central or apple don’t pick it up. Linustechtips has a similar sub count and staffing
