The announcement of the cancellation of The Late Show has sent ripples through the mainstream media and among Democrat politicians, as if their world just came crumbling down. Stephen Colbert himself made the announcement, revealing that CBS plans to end the show next May. It’s framed as a tragic episode for the left, although many Americans might wonder why it’s such a big deal. After all, the program already seemed to be overlooked, flying under the radar for the average viewer. Colbert quips that this cancellation shouldn’t surprise anyone since everybody had already “missed every single episode.” Ouch, that might sting, but isn’t that the real reason it’s being canceled?

The reaction from liberal media pundits and Democrat politicians is something to behold. To say they’ve overreacted is an understatement. The way some have carried on suggests they’ve lost a beloved institution, akin to the end of an era. However, those tuned into reality know that this “loss” hardly affects the cultural fabric of the nation. It’s as if suddenly every voice from the left has decided this cancellation is the latest hill to die on, only to reveal the shallow depth of their priorities.

The real reason for all the drama is clear: many of these politicians and media folks were frequent guests on the show and practically treated like Hollywood royalty. This echoes the entire problem with the current state of mainstream media and entertainment – an echo chamber that fits like a velvet glove for those with similar ideologies. Colbert’s show provided a cozy platform where nobody challenged their narratives and where they could bask in the warm glow of applause for their every word.

For many Americans, especially those with a conservative perspective, The Late Show’s demise goes unnoticed. Viewers were put off ages ago by its relentless liberal pandering masked as comedy. The truth is, when a show morphs into nothing more than a soapbox for one-sided political chatter, its expiration date is just a matter of time.

So, while the liberal media may treat this as a melodrama, life goes on for the rest of us. The nation will survive without Colbert’s predictable monologues and fawning over liberal guests. Instead, perhaps, Americans will find entertainment that genuinely entertains rather than only echoing partisan politics. After all, as this cancellation proves, when only one side is enjoying the show, it’s not long before the curtain must fall.
