Heh, I had no idea ratings for late night shows were dropping so rapidly, since I haven't watched any of them since the Letterman on NBC days, but when I went to google and entered "ratin" it immediately auto-populated with "ratings for late night television shows."

Which I thought was pretty funny.  Must be a hot topic for investigation.

Neither has anyone else.  Annndddd the ratings tank...........

It's nice "we" as a country don't have any significant issues to discuss beyond Epstein.

like everything else, it's politicized and sensationalized. 

CBS is a major for profit corporation who is all about one thing, the bottom line. When your ad revenue from a product goes from $439 million a year to under $220 million a year and is trending downwards ever greater- yeah you're probably just gonna cut bait and kill the product. Between what they were paying Colbert every year to paying the salaries of the hundreds of other staff- they were probably breaking even at best or even losing money. And with basically zero potential of growth and it being a decaying dying market- they were always going to just cut bait and some point and shut everything down and get out of that business.

Well I dropped out of the ratings over 30 years ago, but apparently somebody was still watching during that time... somebody who no longer is.
A bunch of somebodies, apparently. ;)

the crazy thing is- the more Trump tells his base to shut up about Epstein- the bigger the story seems to get. maybe he should stop crashing out about it on social media?

Probably.

He should probably just stay off social media entirely.

The bigger point is that he's somehow managed to piss off Rupert Murdoch.

As for the inevitable lawsuit, I would imagine 'ol Rupert's response to be something along the lines of this:
The falling out happened long ago - before Trump's first term.

It’s kind of wild they still exist as a thing. But I suppose they probably made “enough” money for a while.
