Molly Jong-Fast: Canceling Stephen Colbert Isn’t Funny, It’s ‘Very Scary’

EXCERPT:

LEMIRE: “Now we have also happened with actually in the same hour that that 'The Wall Street' Journal Epstein story posted, we get news that the Colbert, Colbert -- 'Late Show with Stephen Colbert' on CBS is being canceled. It will go off the air come May. And there's certainly been a lot of speculation that it may at least play a part of that decision, maybe because of this impending merger that needs approval from the Trump administration. So you wrote about this and you say Colbert's cancellation, simply not funny."
JONG-FAST: "Yes, simply not funny, but also really scary. Right. And even if it's not quid pro quo, the idea of self-censorship.”
