Now he needs to REMIND me of the subject on which he's begging me to post. Doesn't CDL know that I don't respond well to such pleas? Just ask ReadyForCock.
Do it today....
now that Steven Colbert is gone. He single handedly destroyed one of his networks most valuable franchises. He took it from making millions to losing $40 million a year, just to massage his own ego. He is a pretentious snob, even changing the pronunciation of this name from "Cole Bert" to "Cole Bear". It reminds me of the old BBC sitcom called "Keeping Up Appearances" where a hardcore social climber tells people her last name, spelled "Bucket," is pronounced "Bouquet."
This time next year this guy will be playing the Indian Casino circuit. A fitting ending for a comedian who is no longer funny. If you don't believe his political commentary was important to the country, just ask him. Lol
Because Colbert's "Late Show" had several sources of revenue CDL ignored and had a profit of over $100 million.
And he always pronounced his name "Cole-Bear." Bill-O The Clown used to rag on him by mispronouncing his name but it never worked.
It still doesn't.
who has zero access to the official books and records of Paramount or IRS records, who massages the grieving Cole-Bert fans with made-up numbers. It defies all logic to assert that rather than losing $40,000,000 a year as Paramount publicly states, the show was really making $100 mil in profit. I'm sure you're not the only one buying into Shapiro's claim. He's a Dumacrat conspiracy theorist raking in a million a year from the conspiracy faithful. At least they will still get to catch Cole-Bert's tired political schtick at Vermont ski resorts and Indian Casinos. Look for him this winter when you go skiing.
The guy who Can't Do Links, makes wild claims with "facts" that he simply pulls out of his ass but has the nerve to reject my source and then proves NO source of his own.
LMAO!
to make an argument that Shapiro got these figures anywhere that would be credible. It's all speculation. Do you see the irony in throwing your cred behind a guy like this that who obviously got HIS figures out of his own ass. He identifies NO sources for these numbers he is peddling. Still, weak-minded Dumocrats will send him money because he's doing the lord's work in their simpleton minds.
Please see the post below this one.
Then do yourself a favor and take the L.
Oh, right, you are constitutionally unable to do that.
LOL
Are you up for brain surgery from an experience doctor that doesn't have access to any of the imaging work on YOUR specific brain?
for a brain transplant, after which I will accept your surrender.
"... obviously got HIS figures out of his own ass...He identifies NO sources for these numbers he is peddling."
Evan Shapiro's SOURCES are listed in red ink at the top of nicky's link:

Seriously, COEUR-DE-CHAPON, what's it like to go through life being a fucking moron?
...and flings it onto TER. It defies all logic that COEUR-DE-CHAPON, an anonymous fucktard on a fuckboard calls Evan Shapiro a "media hack."
Evan Shapiro has almost ONE HUNDRED Executive Producer credits in film and television over the past 25 years. You know what an "Executive Producer" does? He is responsible for the FINANCES of movie and TV projects.
You know what COEUR-DE-CHAPON does? He posts shit he knows nothing about because he's a fucking moron.
to the underlying financial records, it doesn't matter what your experience is. If a doctor has 25 years of experience, would you let him operate on your brain without looking at the Xrays first? Do you want him to cut you open without having all of the available information? And yet, you are willing to believe the financial speculation of this guy based on a complete absence of factual information.
...based on a complete absence of factual information about him.
And your statement that Evan Shapiro's analysis is "a complete absence of factual information" is typical COEUR-DE-CHAPON BULLSHIT.
Not only does he have 25 years of experience in the income and expenses of shows, he also based his analysis on SOURCES which he listed:
Paramount 10-K filings
Wall Street Journal
S & P Global
Variety Intelligence
Nielsen
Kagan Media
MoffettNathanson
FCC Filings
NexTV News
Lightshed Partners
COEUR-DE-CHAPON: "a complete absence of factual information" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Do you want to say you "stand corrected" or are you finally going to admit you are a FUCKING MORON and STFU?
Since you did not mention whether you would let a doctor with no direct knowledge of your medical condition operate on your brain, yet you are willing to believe this guy who has listed "sources" that also have no inside information about the financials of Paramount. He's hoping by merely listing these unrelated companies, weak-minded Dems who so badly want to believe that Cole-Bert got a raw deal will feel better. Do you feel better? If he says he has the tax returns of Paramount and that is the source of his analysis, I will stand corrected. Otherwise, it can only fall somewhere between an educated and uneducated guess, but a guess is a guess, not fact.
CDL: "(Shapiro) listed 'sources' that also have no inside information about the financials of Paramount."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
First you claim Shapiro identified "NO sources." You even emphasized the "fact" that he had NO sources. Now you claim that his sources have no inside information. How would you know? You're so fucking stupid you didn't even realize that he listed his sources! What is your basis for claiming his sources and his knowledge don't give him he ability to assess the financials of LSSC?
And your heart surgeon analogy is bullshit too. It's apples and oranges. The only way it would be comparable is if Evan Shapiro was asked to be the showrunner of LSSC. In that case he wouldn't merely rely on other sources - he would actually have to examine the "patient" himself before taking the job, just as the heart surgeon would. But you're so fucking stupid you can't come up with a proper analogy.
Shapiro has not examined "patient" paramount himself and his narrative of how he arrived at his conclusion states no sources for financial information, just speculation. If he said he got tax returns or inside financials on Paramount, tell us which of his "listed sources" supplied them?
Why do you always go, "Bwahahahahahaha" when you have no substantive rebuttal, only speculation? Are we supposed to laugh at your idiocy? Or are you laughing at yourself because you know you are making no sense at all. All I have to do is look for the "Bwahahahahahahaha" and know you have nothing, which is confirmed if I read your narrative.
BigP's ass, but it's necessary because he erroneously thinks he's superior intellectually than all of the righties here. It's good to bring him back to reality that he is way out of his league here. He's the ONLY one that thinks otherwise. Even the other Dems here view him as a "mascot" rather than a principal source of substantive argument.
First of all, I had no idea you spoke for all the lefties here and were able to read our thoughts.
Oh, right. Your description of what we think is another huge bunch of wishful supposition which you know is simply wrong.
But, as usual, you are able to spout the most outlandish bullshit without showing a scintilla of embarrassment.
Phenomenal.
These are only my personal observations of how he is treated, or should I say, "tolerated", by the other Lefties here. Are you suggesting "Mr. Look-It-Up" is YOUR equal intellectually, so we should treat him as such?
"He's the ONLY one that thinks otherwise. Even the other Dems here view him as a "mascot" rather than a principal source of substantive argument."
I mean, if that's not attributing thoughts to others, what is it?
If you want to say he is more than a "mascot", go ahead and tell us why, then you can white knight for him all you want and I won't be able to say much about it.
But if you think you've been on the winning end with him you probably need to go to rehab to ween yourself off whatever drugs you've been abusing.
you specifically avoided the invitation to say he was more than a mascot for the Lefties here. I don't blame you. We can leave it at that so as not to embarrass him further. I got the message (wink, wink).
When the best you can do is invoke something I DIDN'T comment on to make your point you have basically waved the.....
well....you know....
I accept your surrender.
You still can't even suggest that he is more than a "mascot." It's okay, we know what you think of him from prior posts on other boards, but you are giving him a pass because he's a Dem that is a useful idiot for you. Am I right?
Now he needs to REMIND me of the subject on which he's begging me to post. Doesn't CDL know that I don't respond well to such pleas? Just ask ReadyForCock.
Do it today....
BLRPOS should learn when it's okay to remain silent rather than lessen his position by speaking nonsense.
Nicky seems to have a lot to say, but it’s what he didn’t say that tells us more. On CDL’s point re BIgP being less intelligent than Nicky, no comment. On the mascot point, some word salad, but no denial.
And while you're at it, stop trying to parse what I say or don't say to make your point. You have failed. I'll continue to comment about what I want, how I want. CDL also failed in his feeble attempt to argue about what I DIDN'T say. You are not in good company.
And thoughts in my head. This falls under what's called "Cheap Debating Tricks." I'd say this is beneath ChicKie but nothing seems to be beneath our leading Partisan Hack and.....
...intellect is not one of BigPapaDunce’s strengths."
Gee, I must have missed the poll TER's official pollster conducted to reach that "general consensus."
Hey ChicKenShit - can you stop being COEUR-DE-CHAPON's personal White Knight (AKA personal coCKSucker) long enough to post a link to that "general consensus?"
Or is that "general consensus" a load of shit you pulled out of your ass just like COEUR-DE-CHAPON does?
Apparently, you're just another righty shit-flinging monkey.
He said it was a "general consensus" that you are weaker than most here intellectually. I'm sure you can find SOMEBODY that will disagree with the "general consensus" that you are intellectually challenged, it just won't be Nicky. The one truth we can't escape on most things is simple . . . "It is what it is."
Is BigP more upset about the forum’s general consensus re his lacking intellect, or the fact that Nicky has gone to great lengths to avoid challenging said assertion? LOL
...he had to respond TWICE to my post to try to cover his ass.. And I NEVER get tired of pointing out all the shit he pulls out of his ass and flings onto TER. If he wasn't a fucking moron, he'd post a link and make ME look like a fucking moron. But he won't because he knows he's a bullshitter and a fucking liar.
BTW, Can't-Do-Links actually CAN do links but the reason he doesn't do links is because the shit he posts is bullshit. He knows he can't back up his bullshit with links so he just posts it. And have you ever seen any righty call him on his bullshit? Of course not! They're bigger fucking morons than COEUR-DE-CHAPON is. They believe everything he posts without question. That's why COEUR-DE-CHAPON keeps on posting bullshit - he has contempt for his fellow righties. He knows they'll believe his bullshit so he'll keep on posting it while I will keep on posting how much of a bullshitter he is and how fucking stupid his fellow righties are for believing him.
The guy was the turd that wouldnt flush for years. I have a feeling he pops up somewhere else though. His humor is attractive to retarded folks and there seem to be plenty of those around these days.
Like most MAGA talking points, there's a tiny sliver of truth buried in a pile of grievance-flavored bullshit.
Yes, the show was losing money. Late night is brutal right now and production costs are high. But "he single-handedly destroyed it" is just wishful mythmaking that ignores the basic reality that Colbert's show was still the highest-rated late-night option on network TV when it got cancelled — 2.42 million viewers and the only one gaining audience share quarter over quarter. You don't "destroy" a franchise while leading the timeslot. That's not how destroying works. That's how making excuses works.
The cancellation also landed three days after Colbert criticized Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump — at a time when Paramount was also dealing with FCC approval for its $8 billion Skydance merger. CBS calls it "purely financial," and yet they never asked Colbert to take a pay cut or cut production costs — which is usually step one when a show is too expensive. Purely financial. Sure.
And the "Col-bear" name thing? That's his family's actual pronunciation. He anglicized it growing up and reclaimed it when he became famous. That's not pretension. The Hyacinth Bucket comparison would land better if it were based on something other than vibes.
Colbert simply wasnt worth what he was getting paid with dismal numbers like that. He could be number one but if number one still doesnt make enough money to justify paying Colbert...those numbers really dont mean jack shit.
And thats exactly what happened.
Jimmy is next. And its going to be epic tv to watch that pussy cry for real.
Let’s look at what’s going on with 60 Minutes? Right wing run CBS is directing what can be reported only if it fit their narrative.
We can say it was the numbers that did in Colbert but some question those figures.
And if it was the numbers then look at the replacement,Comics Unleashed..,,it’s hemorrhaging more than half its audience — and competitors Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon capitalize on the exodus
So tell me, how’s this good business??
60 min lied. If they had been honest and transparent to begin with there would no issues.
Jimmy lied. Had he not there would have been no blow back.
Slander is slander. Are you defending slander and think news sources and late night tv hosts should be able to spread lies about folks without repurcussions?
If you’re going to go the Harris edited interview, that’ll be a act of desperation
So remind me, of how Trump got slandered on 60. Minutes
And im against slander , I agree with FOX settling with a Dominion… 780M. Now that was slander Agree??
Every other word out of his mouth is a lie or some other outrage. He's self-slandering.
I said 60 minutes lied. Thats why they got sued and had to pay a settlement. Is this incorrect? No, its fact.
Enlighten me.. I’m curious
How did they not lie is a question id like you to answer. Id love to see the twisted answer you give.
Ya know , like when FOX edits trump’s interview so he doesn’t come off like a babbling idiot? Is FOX lying???? Are you gonna call out FOX for lying??? You know some here will be very upset with that kinda “slander”..🤣🤣🤣
The shame the horror!!! Where’s your fake outrage 😏
Learn to know the deference between lying vs slander
Google is your amigo🤣🤣
Here you go again.
We are talking about cbs and 60 min right now. Do try and stay on topic.
Youve attacked others on here for whataboutism. Dont add being a hypocrite to your m.o.
I don't see you whine and cry when someone says."But Biden this or Biden that"..get a grip snowflake.
So I guess you're in the camp that FOX is a lying network catering to the low info voters who buy into their edited interviews.
So you are referring to the Harris edited interview, right?
If you are... that's a weak ass example but in reality...ya got nada
See, here you go again. Making more shit up.
If i am going back and forth with, anyone, and they use whataboutism in their debate, similar to what you just did, id call and have called it out.
You make a statement, i call you out on the statement and ask you to explain yourself. You cant, because you have a lack of rationale in your thought process. This has happened repeatedly on here with you and a handful of retarded others.
Its YOU that aint got nada. Its YOU that cant break down YOUR own thoughts.
I have no issue breaking down everything i say. Why? Because my opinion is based on fact. I use the system of logic to base said opinions. You would fail a basic logic class if taken right now. Its borderline pathetic given you have to be a senior citizen. Do better, seriously. There is no way you did anything more in life than be a cog in a factory somewhere. A job that a 90s built computer was poised to take. Thought process is just too basic for much else.
The only weak ass in this conversation is...you. and you know it. Which is why you bow out in similar fashion over and over and over....
Ya know …. No matter how you think.
You ain’t no better than anyone. You may think you are…But you’re just a Frijo..😂😂😂
We are a forum full of sex addicts. There is no "better" than anyone else. Never have i stated anything of the sort.
You cant keep up intellectually. It is what it is.
Do you even know what a frijo is?
So you are no better than people you call fat fucks and retards, huh? Good to know. Now go post a reply in the subject line while claiming to ignore my post.
And maybe you should pay more attention. He claims to ignore some of us, yet replies in the subject line. I'm calling out his repeated stupidity. If you have a problem with that take it to the complaint department.
Blatantly lying. Serially lying. Oh, I forgot! You're a partisan right-wing hack who is lied to all the time and doesn't care.
How do I get on that list....I guess I can continue to push his fragile ego....any suggestions?
I think you are on your way to his so-called ignore list. Keep pushing back against his bullshit posts. Of course you are never really being ignored despite what he claims.
Of course you want on the list. Because Ive continually exposed that you have the critical thinking of the 5th grader. I wouldnt want to have to deal with that either.
Being on my ignore list and this goy acting like a moron over it is the most attention hes ever gotten on here. Its probably the highlight of his day.
Dude is with Nazinamblanick, fartin in a bathtub, lauhin their asses off.
Readyforcock, with his oversized ego and self-righteousness, is trying to bully his way through this, and every other, thread. He is just noise - MAGA noise - he is an insignificant, unintelligent nothing.
But, it is what it is so..,🤷🏻♂️
I couldn't say. He is however angry, arrogant, obnoxious, and very ill-informed.
ReadyForCock would not know a fact if it bit him on his much-abused ass.
Yet he has the brass balls to lecture us about facts.
Typical Reublicunt.
The same way you do, hpyboy.

And some say they caved to get Trump not to oppose their parent company's acquisition by Ellison.
Some would say ReadyForCock lied.
With a French handle who can't pronounce "Colbert". It's a silent "t" from your French 101 class. LMAO...
The French version with the silent "T" is spelled Colibert, which is derived from the original Latin term, Colibertus (also with a hard "t") which was the original moniker used for a "freed slave." The French appearance of the name dates from the 14th century and is generally accepted as a misspelling by an uneducated Franc, while the original Colbert was a large family in the Strathclyde regions of SCOTLAND. If this was taught in YOUR French 101 class, you should have asked your parents to transfer you to a better school. Sorry to embarrass you like this, but you had it coming, imbecile.
Claudette Colbert was a hoax first to perpetrate a hoax on the public that this is a French spelling during Hollywood's first decade of talkies. Steven Colbert just continued this hoax.
"Claudette Colbert (****koʊlˈbɛər/**** ****kohl-BAIR****) September 13, 1903, ****Saint-Mandé, France**** – July 30, 1996, Speightstown, Barbados), also known as Lily Claudette Chauchoin (ʃoʃwɛ̃/ show-shwan);[1] was a ****French-American**** stage and film actress. Colbert began her career in Broadway productions during the late 1920s and progressed to films with the advent of talking pictures. Initially associated with Paramount Pictures, and then followed a string of successes that she gradually shifted to working as a freelance actress. ..."
.
I wonder how Trump pronounces it? Maybe like "YOH-suh-mite." Maybe Trump knows the oranges of her name IS French and IS pronounced kohl-BAIR? It is only two syllables, not one of those bigly polysyllabic words with which he has so much trouble. Covfefe!
He just doesn't want to say so.
included her birthdate. I used to watch her old black and white movies when I was a kid and know quite a bit about her.
See what I did there?
...he still fucks it up. He pukes up a few facts from AI which have absolutely nothing to do with Stephen Colbert, Claudette Colbert or their respective family histories.
As impp said, Claudette Colbert was born in FRANCE and grew up bilingual, speaking both English and FRENCH. She used "Colbert" as her stage name because it was the maiden name of her father's FRENCH grandmother.
Stephen Colbert's father preferred the French pronunciation with the silent "t." However, he was a "Jr." so out of respect to his father, he kept the same pronunciation. Colbert's father had 11 children, including Stephen, and he gave them all the option of pronouncing their last name the way they wanted to.
http://www.facebook.com/TheZebraPress/posts/trivia-answer-stephen-colbert-didnt-always-pronounce-his-name-coal-beargrowing-u/1448282830648862/
"In an interview with Charlie Rose, Colbert explained that he always wanted to make the change, and a conversation with an astronaut finally gave him the courage.
While flying to Northwestern University in Illinois, where he studied theater, Colbert already had the idea in his head. 'I didn't know Chicago. Nobody knew me there. And I thought, Well, if I'm ever gonna do it, it's gonna be now,' he told Rose.
That day, the airline bumped Colbert up to first class, where he ended up sitting next to an astronaut. Colbert thinks the astronaut's name was Corley, and he asked the man's opinion, still unsure whether to adopt the hard or soft "t."
"He goes, 'Well, I think you know,'" Colbert relayed, smiling widely.
Colbert's father always wanted to switch, too. But he 'lacked the pretentious gene that I have,' Colbert said."
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-why-steven-colbert-pronounces-183400963.html
COEUR-DE-CHAPON parrots a few random facts and then calls the pronunciation of 'Colbert' a "hoax." However, he makes no connection from his history lesson to the chosen pronunciation of 'Colbert' by Claudette and Stephen. That's because COEUR-DE-CHAPON is a pretentious putz. He tries to sound smart but all he succeeds in doing is demonstrating what a fucking moron he is.

small win on this thread, but you continue to come up empty. I won't call YOU a moron. You're already given us a few demonstrations on this thread.
