A thing I think folk seem to not understand re: Byron Allen’s replacement for Colbert… it’s ‘Paid Programming’. It’s not a CBS show, it’s not syndication, it’s basically an infomercial but they’re not selling anything in particular (he even has to supply his own sponsors).So yeah, they nuked Colbert to put on the equivalent to the Shamwow advert. But it wasn’t political. Nope. Not at all. Impossible. Couldn’t have happened.
