Colbert is still the most lucrative thing in that timeslot. they were STILL making money. They have nothing else to put in that slot that will get them anything even close to that.

this. this right here. "it doesn't make as much as it used to" doesn't mean "we can easily make more with something else entirely"

the only network in the proper position to take a gamble like that and legitimately have a reason to believe them is fox who is consistently in the 4 spot for that market.

cbs is the network with the golden goose right now. it's still laying eggs, just less often than it used to. but they want to appease the fascist overlord so they can benefit from some government corruption. don't let the numbers or the statisticians spin this. pay attention to what's being said on the streets. in this case the numbers and the statisticians belong to the conservatives, but the streets are too smart to follow along.
