Screencap from Twitter/X video.
People on the left truly seem to live in an alternate universe. During a recent segment on MSNBC, contributor Molly Jong-Fast reacted to the Colbert cancelation by saying that it’s ‘really scary.’
It’s scary that a TV show got canceled? That happens all the time. In this case, the show in question was losing tens of millions of dollars a year.
She actually goes on and compares this situation to the McCarthy anti-communism hearings. This isn’t even remotely similar to that but she takes herself and her words so seriously.
“And even if it’s not quid pro quo, the idea of self-censorship. And I talk about my grandfather, Howard Fast, who was jailed by McCarthy during The House UN-American Activities, that that our government has done this before, that history is very much filled with moments like this.”

People responded to this on Twitter/X:
Colbert is an unfunny partisan hack who ran off 75% of the Late Show audience.
He literally killed the Late Show!
Unpopular TV shows get canceled all the time.
This has nothing to do with free speech. The free market chose to watch something else.

Is MSNBC making a profit? Then why are they still on the air? They exist to advance political narratives…

Does this woman remember the last few years? People on the left were all too happy to silence and cancel others for wrongthink, but now she’s concerned about free speech? Not to mention the fact that this isn’t even about free speech. It’s about the fact that Colbert’s show was losing $40 million a year.
