1. Count me in. Not just for Colbert but for their general spinelessness.

[Initech]

27. Yup! Fuck Bari Weiss and David Ellison!

[Ars Longa]

34. I'm all in too, ( I don''t watch CBS anyway)however, my wife has an exception for

the Young & the Restless.(soap).
Other than that.......... she said she's in too!
(maybe we can get Y&R to change networks)!

[FHRRK1]

2. I can't help much

Maybe no AFC football?

Can’t think of any other time I have watched CBS in the last few years

[Buckeyeblue]

10. Actually if we could get enough people to boycott their NFL games, it would hit them hard

Networks pay a fortune for NFL games.

3. Who's going to do the banning? NT

[Katinfl]

4. I would love for this ban to have some effect on CBS but I have not watched CBS in years.

However, I hope that people who do watch the network don’t tune in that day. If enough people boycott, it has to have some effect.

5. I don't think it's just for that one day. I think they're asking people to stop watching CBS starting on May 22,

and to continue to not watch CBS indefinitely after that.

[Katinfl]

31. Great. Hope it makes an impact.

[ananda]

6. I haven't watched CBS in years.

Or any MSM whatsoever.

[Mysterian]

19. Your IQ thanks you.

Nothing but garbage and billionaire propaganda on the mass media.

[ananda]

24. I just don't want to give them money or ratings.

But I'm sure my IQ is thankful also.

[Conjuay]

7. First of all,

Boycott their sponsors
Secondly, I don't think Colbert would want ANYTHING to do with CBS after the bullshit they are pulled.

[FascismIsDeath]

8. I don't think Colbert would WANT to come back to work for them. He has made that FU money.

He is gonna go write a Lord of the Rings based movie and enjoy life. He might make a return with another show some day but really, he can do whatever he wants and I doubt, whatever it is, it will be doing business with CBS, at least in its current incarnation.

[GoCubsGo]

9. Colbert was the only thing I have watched on CBS in ages.

CBS is self-banning here, as there is nothing remotely interesting to me in their programming..

[The Blue Flower]

29. same here

nt

[Buckeyeblue]

11. I bet Colbert ends up on Netflix (if he wants to)

3 days a week for a 30 minute live show. He and his guests can say whatever they want.

[Midnight Writer]

12. Bari Weiss is doing for CBS what Donald Trump is doing to the USA.

[Charlie Chapulin]

13. Shouldn't that read 'boycott' vs 'ban?'

Won’t be hard for this kid, anyway. All I ever watch(ed) cBS for is Colbert and football. More or less gave up on them once they canned Dan Rather.

[Brainstormy]

14. Im in.

And pretty easy to do.

[kimbutgar]

15. I'm taking it off my tv lineup !

[1WorldHope]

16. The only thing I ever watched was 60 Minutes and Colbert. I'm in.

[BeneteauBum]

17. Glad I don't have a television.....

In the past, I’ve watched Colbert monologues on YouTube……enjoyed him immensely. Now he’s being shut down due to political ideologies…..such BS. I’ll be so glad to see this all end in the next few years.

Peace ☮️

[valleyrogue]

18. People are up in arms about a comedian and not about the evisceration of the news division?

Something is wrong with this picture.

[efhmc]

20. Got rid of my tv ages ago. No even sure how long ago. Use DU to watch bits and pieces that I find clever.

Too often I have no idea who the hay is being talked about.

[pfitz59]

21. I watch Youtube Colbert

No other CBS programs.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. Same here. We cut the cable ages ago (around the time Game of Thrones was finished)

We have an external antenna but it doesn't pick up the CBS station well at all. If I want to watch something from NBC, CBS, ABC or FOX I just hunt it down on YouTube (if I even want to do that much).

We find too many things to watch on Netflix etc anyway.

[EastBayGuy]

22. I just cancelled my Paramount + account, I'll miss Star Trek...

[doc03]

23. That won't be hard the late night shows are

the only thing I watch on network TV.

[BidenRocks]

25. See BS ratings will tank!

They seriously underestimated the hatred we have for this destructive, uncaring piece of crap!
He is responsible for Colbert.
Truthiness!

[Westcoast4life]

26. Hell Ya, I'm in!

[waterwatcher123]

28. No problem here - already boycott CBS other Colbert clips on DU.

What about Paramount + (streaming service)?

[Melon]

30. It's too late. This rally after it's already dead??

It’s much harder to change course once you’ve already missed the exit. It’s ridiculous really. Maybe this could have worked if it was prior to the last show…or some kind of protest. It’s way too late now. This is pure folly.

[Frasier Balzov]

32. CBS national radio news is ending on that day.

[GenThePerservering]

35. This is a dying medium, anyway nt
