A recent rally in New York City meant to support Colbert drew only about 20 people, significantly fewer then expected, which was seen as an embarrassment. The event, titled &#8220;We&#8217;re with Colbert,&#8221; aimed to call for integrity in media, but failed to attract a large crowd, with even <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >police officers leaving early due<\/a> to the small turnout.<\/p>\n<p>Critics argue that Colbert alienated much of his audience by turning his show into a politically biased platform, losing tens of millions of dollars annually, and abandoning the humor expected from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/snl-finally-takes-aim-at-biden-mocks-his-af1-stumbles-cheat-sheets\/\" title=\"SNL Finally Takes Aim At Biden, Mocks His AF1 Stumbles, Cheat Sheets\">late-night comedy<\/a>. Some allies claim the cancellation was politically motivated, linked to Paramount&#8217;s desire to avoid jeopardizing a merger after settling a lawsuit involving a controversial &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; segment. However,financial losses are cited as the main reason for the cancellation.<\/p>\n<p>The article highlights that Colbert broke a basic rule of late-night TV by being overly political rather than focusing on entertainment. This shift led to a decline in his popularity, as many viewers and supporters were unaware of the show&#8217;s financial struggles or Colbert&#8217;s high salary. The media&#8217;s attempt to frame the cancellation as a political conspiracy is considered an effort to mask the waning influence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/john-mac-ghlionn-andrew-tate-canceled-by-the-woke-mob\/\" title=\"John Mac Ghlionn: Andrew Tate \u2013 Canceled by the Woke Mob\">left-leaning commentators<\/a>. The piece concludes that public disinterest in partisan content signals a broader decline in the power of mainstream political media voices.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Stephen Colbert was publicly humiliated after a crowd showed up in New York City to support him following his recently announced cancellation, and it had fewer people than a local bar&rsquo;s trivia night.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2025\/07\/27\/us-news\/nycs-were-with-colbert-rally-for-late-night-host-is-bust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> on the event earlier this week, calling it a &ldquo;bust,&rdquo;

Many of them had no idea how much money he was losing.<\/p>\n<p>Several supporters accused Trump of &ldquo;censoring&rdquo; Colbert, but then short-circuited when asked why so many other anti-Trump hosts are still on the air.
