#12> I wish we could have put it on the show, where no one would’ve watched it So true, the Streisand effect in full view. I think it got 95 million views on youtube. If just on the show with no comment from the US admin, probably would not break 5 million. This admin is doing more harm to itself trying to censor people than if they ignored Colbert.
Does the Streisand effect keep working if censorship continues? Or do people lose interest?

Convenient that since January 21, 2026 late night talk shows are no longer part of the "bona fide news interview exemption", thanks to the FCC who now has a new role as the censor of political speech. Enjoy your earned freedom of speech :)

#14Kind of fascinating that the first couple comments to be posted both start with a declaration of the author’s opinion of Colbert. I read it as a pretty straightforward acknowledgment that we’ve reached a point in public discourse where people pay at least as much attention to who is making a point as we do to the actual point being made. I wonder if finding common ground is even possible as long as that kind of tacit…
I was actually thinking the opposite. I sent my wife this text message:
Nonsense world when a comedian doing a late night show is the person willing to say something
It's not his job I'm glad he's doing it, but this is like watching the McDonald's workers Narcan people as part of their daily tasks
Corporate had to say that they must stay inside and eventually it became grounds for suspending employees that didn't want to sit and watch people die.
Contact me if you want her information for journalism purposes we have the receipts.

What's so fascinating about it? I made one of those comments. It’s not about judging the person but about emphasizing the point. I’m saying the situation is so egregious that it overrides my usual dislike for the host. If anything, it validates the point being made, regardless of who is making it.

Are we at a point where "show me the man and I'll show you the crime" is now considered a good thing?

This is just not accurate. Privious to this censorship-push since 1983 there had been a carve out for talks shows and it correspondly has not been enforced since the Regan administration. If it was, Fox News would be in violation 24/7.
