Happily there are zero Paramount movies I'd want to see post Colbert.. [View all]

....so boycotting Paramount/CBS will be easy.

I checked the list of movies they'll produce through 2029 on Wikipedia. They're all tripe, which is consistent with their witless executive class.

As for CBS, the only thing I ever watched there was Colbert and perhaps some sporting events.

If they run the Superbowl, the only football game I watch anyway - mostly for the commercials - I'll rewatch the Branaugh film Conspiracy instead.

Conspiracy is a film reenacting the Wansee Conference, a business like executive meeting that feels like some I've attended, wherein Reinhart Heydrich organized the Holocaust.

While on a different level than Wansee, I can imagine being a fly on the wall wherein some CBS/Paramount executives sat around discussing the destruction of CBS news and Late Night with Steven Colbert. The similarity with Wansee is involved with the group think and cowardice of any in the room who may have retained a shred of decency.

The tradition of Edward Morrow, Walter Cronkite, and yes, David Letterman and Steven Colbert is destroyed forever.
