I will boycott CBS except for the Late Show. We should boycott ALL Paramount and CBS movies and shows due to the cowardly cancelling of Late Show. Also, cancel Paramount Plus streaming. If enough of us do so, they will lose revenue from advertisers and we should boycott their advertisers until they rescind their spineless decision.
I love the fact that Colbert spoke truth to power knowing the possible consequence. Every dictator attacks and eliminates the known media to redesign it in the manner he desires.
Trump silences critics, rewrites culture, and demands loyalty, and payoffs. His vendetta is shaping a dystopian future. The only thing a dictator hates more than ridicule is when people laugh at him. I guess watching a comedian impersonate him every night hurts his little feelings.
The MAGA descent into authoritarianism is on full display. We’re watching the death of lawful dissent in real time. Their authoritarian playbook demands it. This administration is an authoritarian regime.
Just got my t-shirt which reads "We the People" are pissed off. This one 👇
Yep, blocking anything owned by paramount so, I guess that’s a lot of stuff. I need to find out EXACTLY what they own. Because when I block, I do not play around.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING! I DID NOT KNOW ALL THESE LINKS AND WILL BOYCOTT THEM ALL. I know I am shouting but I am furious, horrified, and scared to death of what else the tangerine weasel and his Minion weasels have in store to destroy this country futher
Comedy Central? The Daily Show? I didn’t know Comedy Central was Paramount. Comedians won’t be able to make fun of Trump anymore. I always catch The Daily Show on You Tube.
Wow. Just this one company could corrupt a ton of young impressionable kids growing up to be bigots. That's a big problem, they are playing the long con game. Let's not forget operation 2030.
Ive also canceled CBS & kept Paramount plus, only for Jon Stewart & The Daily Show. No more CBS NEWS OR NEWS SHOWS from that channel. Passing this info onto Friends & Family. I don't want Trump or his LIES on my TV.
Dead or alive it is not Trump who is in charge, but the authors of 2025 and Trump will be easily replaced by them when the time comes. To kill the poison, you need to dig out the roots. For those of us following Project 2025 what we have lived and what is our future is all there in black and white.
Moreover, the authors bet on very few of us reading Project 2025 before deciding whom to vote for and/or whether or not we would vote at all. They studied us and concluded Americans in the majority prefer watching things in play much like choosing to wait for the movie versus reading the book, and they won that bet.
But, perhaps by now some of us are no longer entertained and worn out by the drama and shock and awe. Perhaps by now some of us would prefer knowing what comes next. It is all there and in simple terms that what comes next will be concentration camps springing up, and not to house just immigrants, along with the full transfer of wealth.
That's our wealth. That's our savings. That's our income. That's all the funding that sustains and supports equitable rights and protections and basic benefits of a citizen in a democratic nation such as education for our children.
The whole nine yards including our children's future and their children's future. All of it impoverished and stripped and transferred to the millionaires and billionaires and oligarchs and large corporations and American corporate owned media.
Anyone else out there reading along? Please speak up. I’d like to see more coverage of the plan itself here on Substack versus the reactivity and minute to minute shock and awe. I’d rather be looking down the line and part of a group craving to be informed of what is planned versus distracted and entertained.
If we were living this out in the 1800’s not a person would have not read and craved learning what was on the pages of Project 2025. The printing presses would be working overtime, and the newsstands would find it flying off the shelf. Not today, however, despite the fact we can access it on our phones; and for that I am fully despaired and genuinely worried.
Obviously, what we are living thru today demonstrates we have incompetent leaders but one should not ignore the part a distracted and willfully uninformed people choosing those leaders has wrought upon us no matter whom you voted for in the last election.
I believe that weakness has been mined and used to the advantage of our oppressors. That is the weakness that leaves us so easily manipulated and divided. It is our weakness, and we need to own it. To be willfully distracted and uninformed is surrender. We surrendered. Yes? No? Can we talk about it? Are we ready? Had enough?
Why does evil exist? Why are there authoritarians and autocrats and dictators ruling a large number of nations across the world? Why are children abused and not protected across the world still? Why is prejudice so baked into our culture it has left us with a shrinking and stagnant talentless pool of a demographic representative of less than 50% of all the talent out there? Because none of it can be eradicated forever. Because it takes work to push back on it forever. So, the answer as to "why" I posit is "us" and what we choose to do individually and as a united people to disallow it. It's us.
Whomever replaces Trump will be worse and certainly no less of a clear an imminent danger for until we get to the root and upend everything all that we live and endure and lose and suffer for will be directed by the authors of Project 2025 funded by the interests of millionaires, billionaires, large corporations and the 100% owned media. We “the people” are expendable not because they did anything clever but because it was so easy for them to pull off. We need to own it and grow up and then unite and show outrage!
WANT TO WIN? SOMEBODY BETTER THAN ME MUST TEAR THE GUTS OUT OF EVERY LIE COMING FROM NOT ONLY "GRUMPOLINI" BUT MORESO FROM MURDOCH'S "FAUX NOISE" ENTITIES THAT DUMB-ASS IDIOTS BELIEVE HOOK LINE AND SINKER
AGREE ! It is uninformed idiots who spend hours watching sports and more spprts as they are too damned dumb to care about and cannt identify with anything else!
Yes. We need to grow up fast as a people and nation. Isolated we have no comparison but perhaps we are ready to look beyond our shores to the democratic nations where the people are served and their needs prioritized; treated as the most valuable resource and not a disposable one. It is not communism and socialism to serve the people; it is the future if we want one.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. We need to devalue CBS. We need to cause their ratings to drop so low that they have to lower their ad rates. They must become a bargain basement network. Their business model needs to be unsustainable.
I will not watch cbs again because of trumps win over them. Whatever happened to the freedom of speech and freedom of the press and the freedom to assemble. Shame on cbs. Shame
I agree with boycotting Paramount but know that includes Showtime, allCBS networks, MTV, Comedy Central, Paramount pictures, Pluto tv, Star Trek, Nickelodeon. And I just read that Walmart is offering a trial for their members to get a free paramount free trial. Yikes. We can do this but we have to really educate everyone
IF YOU THINK TRUMP IS AMERICAS FUTURE MUSSOLINI [ REASON WHY I REFER TO HIM AS "GRUMPOLINI"] YOU AIN'T SEEN NUTTIN' YET - I WAS WATCHING A TV DISCUSSION OF HOW BRUTAL CHINA IS IN CONTROLLING OVER ONE BILLION PEOPLE!
That seems to be a pattern. Everyone around Trump gets thrown under the bus, he is fine. Lindell, Musk, Guiliani…all took financial hits after cozying up to Trump. CBS will become worthless.
What happens to people after the Trump effect is odd. They start denying reality and making up strange conspiracies. It is as if they became as delusional as Trump is himself. They all start lying continuously, also. If I didn’t know better, I would think the guy is contagious.
I will but kind of only watch Survivor and I can get that on HULU. I started paying attention to the channels I DO watch and none are CBS. Crap network. I'll easily boycot
How about only viewing Colbert until the end? Drop all other CBS programming and especially local news and CBS stations. Be sure to contact your local station and tell why you are quitting the local news (and advertisers). Maybe we can keep Colbert at the top and then let the bottom fall out.
Really, any conglomerate that gets this huge deserves to be boycotted.
And I guess this Skyland or whatever it's called is also very large with a lot of brands, too (though not as well-known), cuz it'll be the controlling company as I understand.
It would seem that the word "Choices" is better than Freedom.
Freedom is something even more precious... we are still battling at the level of Choices. It is getting very serious. That is why we must fight HARD, VERY HARD!!!
She won't because Trump didn't "win" his lawsuit...CBS CAVED!! There was absolutely no legal merit to his case & a judge would've laughed him out of the courtroom...it just never made it that far because CBS is a sellout!
Right. Trump's just a crazy old freaker and every day brings additional news of his psychological decompensation. Shari Redstone should know better than to make a deal with this "genius." He always ups the ante after the deal is signed. And you're locked into an evil alliance with this crap.
The dumb bitch made a backroom deal for solar & wind projects in Alaska with Trump in order to get her vote for the Big Bullshit Bill then after she voted yes, he signed an EO ending energy tax credits & completely screwing the "deal" he made with her. Now she's "shocked" & feels "cheated"🙄
Details? Alaska has oil. Oil companies do not like renewable energy. Trump wants to open up 13 million acres for leases to oil companies. Drill baby drill.
Crazy like a fox. Regardless of his massive intellectual defects overall, when it comes to corruption & strongarming people, there's no one more adept & effective at getting what he wants than Trump.
I don't see that now. I do know what you're talking about and it might have been true earlier -- the big dealmaker -- but now aging Donald has painted himself into a corner and his mental pathology is on steroids. This is what high double dominant authoritarian alphas do, they typically overperform earlier in their lives, but they go crazy when they don't see any way out of their own mistakes. His age and condition definitely do not help.
The reason it's hard to figure out is probably because they medicate him and he has periods where he seems almost coherent. But there's a definite mental decline in Donald Trump and we need to start addressing it.
THIS!!! YES!! Let's start talking about his mental decline with every interview & internet post he does!! He's declining FAST! The stress & schedule of the presidency is too much for ANYONE who's pushing 80 (regardless of party)!! We need to stop electing GRANDPA's!!
I stand corrected then. I'll admit I'm new to the REAL politics (about this time last year) so I wasn't really paying attention to any mental declines last term. Couldn't stand him then so I tried to avoid ANYTHING Trump related back then.
True, but until he is deposed &, better yet, imprisoned as he should've been long ago (& spared us from this horror), he remains in the most critical position in the world, which means he's still on top for now. I hope the situation soon changes, but every single time it looks like he's cornered & his time is up, he slips free. So I stick with my original statement. It's so perplexing how he keeps getting away with everything. But that's the world we live in today, ruled by corrupt, greedy sociopaths.
Trump is neither adept nor effective. He is merely willing to push corruption beyond the usual limits, and he has a nose for corruptables who will go long and believe pretty much anything he says; they are that needy and that stupid.
Trump ALWAYS LIES and he ALWAYS CHEATS.
EVERY TIME. Most people realize that. More all the time. It's a rutted road with a cliff at the end.
He has had a lifetime of practice dealing in corruption. It is second nature to him. He doesn’t know how to act any other way. But he will make a misstep that will bring him down and perhaps already has.
Block on every social media account you have... This is one of the only true ways they will see how many people don't approve. Blocking sends a message. They watch this

This is a pretty extensive list, and it covers a significant portion of mainstream media. It means a lot of popular shows, movies, and news sources would be off-limits. Just something to keep in mind as you navigate your viewing and consumption.
Wow! That is a monstrous monopoly, a monopolistic monstrosity! I don't subscribe to or even use a single one of these brands, but I recognize a lot of these names.
Well he's taken away ABC, NPR, PBS and now CBS. He's continually threatening to cancel MSNBC. I guess it's you and all of you truth speakers on Substack!
It’s only a matter of time before he takes out MSNBC. None of the media have the guts to stand up to him. Very few of the colleges have the guts to stand up to him. Most of this country is bending the knee. It’s sickening. I am disgusted at how weak the people in our government are and our institutions and on media and so many of these other places who roll back their DEI. If they all had just stood up to him and his cohort, there’s no way this administration would be able to do what they are doing.
Yes, I believe you are correct about MSNBC. He has threatened. I currently am boycotting all corp. media except for MSNBC, but I am noticing some softening on their coverage of Trump with a few of the anchors. I am supporting many on Substack where truth to power is spoken with gusto, although I have no way of judging if MAGA is getting any of the positivity.
Time to boycott CBS!!!
Yes!
I will boycott CBS except for the Late Show. We should boycott ALL Paramount and CBS movies and shows due to the cowardly cancelling of Late Show. Also, cancel Paramount Plus streaming. If enough of us do so, they will lose revenue from advertisers and we should boycott their advertisers until they rescind their spineless decision.
I love the fact that Colbert spoke truth to power knowing the possible consequence. Every dictator attacks and eliminates the known media to redesign it in the manner he desires.
Trump silences critics, rewrites culture, and demands loyalty, and payoffs. His vendetta is shaping a dystopian future. The only thing a dictator hates more than ridicule is when people laugh at him. I guess watching a comedian impersonate him every night hurts his little feelings.

This pissed off feeling that doesn't go away is what's going to power "We The People" to save our democracy!
Yep, blocking anything owned by paramount so, I guess that’s a lot of stuff. I need to find out EXACTLY what they own. Because when I block, I do not play around.

Comedy Central? The Daily Show? I didn’t know Comedy Central was Paramount. Comedians won’t be able to make fun of Trump anymore. I always catch The Daily Show on You Tube.
Good point. I will still defiantly watch Jon Stewart, like I did last night, I wonder (as did Jon aloud) if Paramount will fire him
Paramount Global
Wow. Just this one company could corrupt a ton of young impressionable kids growing up to be bigots. That's a big problem, they are playing the long con game. Let's not forget operation 2030.
Wow! That's a lot! Includes many famous, widely used (although not by me) companies & platforms.
Ive also canceled CBS & kept Paramount plus, only for Jon Stewart & The Daily Show. No more CBS NEWS OR NEWS SHOWS from that channel. Passing this info onto Friends & Family. I don't want Trump or his LIES on my TV.
I saw a t-shirt that says, "Is he dead yet?"
Good question...
Dead or alive it is not Trump who is in charge, but the authors of 2025 and Trump will be easily replaced by them when the time comes. To kill the poison, you need to dig out the roots. For those of us following Project 2025 what we have lived and what is our future is all there in black and white.

Even more frightened than I can say! Why are these people destroying the USA, why do they hate this country so much????

They are working for Russia.
BE GLAD WE ARE NOT CHINESE AND IN THE ONE BILLION POOL THERE - BUT LAST YEAR INDIA PASSED THEM UP IN TOTAL POPU;ATION
I almost FEAR JDV more than DJT. He is such a SNAKE
Whomever replaces Trump will be worse and certainly no less of a clear an imminent danger for until we get to the root and upend everything all that we live and endure and lose and suffer for will be directed by the authors of Project 2025 funded by the interests of millionaires, billionaires, large corporations and the 100% owned media.

AGREE ! It is uninformed idiots who spend hours watching sports and more spprts as they are too damned dumb to care about and cannt identify with anything else!
Yes. We need to grow up fast as a people and nation. Isolated we have no comparison but perhaps we are ready to look beyond our shores to the democratic nations where the people are served and their needs prioritized; treated as the most valuable resource and not a disposable one. It is not communism and socialism to serve the people; it is the future if we want one.
I have worn mine to every protest I have attended. It attracts a lot of attention and spurs good discussions.
This is literally my favorite t-shirt, and it's marked down. Getting more...

Kind of it.
Yes!! Bankrupt them before they can cough up that $20mil
I wholeheartedly agree with you. We need to devalue CBS. We need to cause their ratings to drop so low that they have to lower their ad rates. They must become a bargain basement network. Their business model needs to be unsustainable.
I will not watch cbs again because of trumps win over them. Whatever happened to the freedom of speech and freedom of the press and the freedom to assemble. Shame on cbs. Shame
?????????????????
Perhaps some of us can send the $$ from Paramount+ streaming to PBS or NPR for an added bonus
I looked into this, as well, last night. I see alternatives. Good for us!
You can boycott CBS and still watch Colbert's monologue on YouTube the next day.
I agree with boycotting Paramount but know that includes Showtime, allCBS networks, MTV, Comedy Central, Paramount pictures, Pluto tv, Star Trek, Nickelodeon. And I just read that Walmart is offering a trial for their members to get a free paramount free trial. Yikes. We can do this but we have to really educate everyone
IF YOU THINK TRUMP IS AMERICAS FUTURE MUSSOLINI [ REASON WHY I REFER TO HIM AS "GRUMPOLINI"] YOU AIN'T SEEN NUTTIN' YET - I WAS WATCHING A TV DISCUSSION OF HOW BRUTAL CHINA IS IN CONTROLLING OVER ONE BILLION PEOPLE!
What Heather said!
💯👏💪 🤬FDT🤬
exactly! I am watching Colbert to the end & nothing else.
I'm hoping he is coming to SubStack
Same
CBS will be going downhill with trump. Bye Bye CBS sold your soul to the swollen orange devil pig 🐽 👿🦧
That seems to be a pattern. Everyone around Trump gets thrown under the bus, he is fine. Lindell, Musk, Guiliani…all took financial hits after cozying up to Trump. CBS will become worthless.
I cannot think of ONE person who has come out live after cozying up to The Donald! Name just one?
What happens to people after the Trump effect is odd. They start denying reality and making up strange conspiracies. It is as if they became as delusional as Trump is himself. They all start lying continuously, also. If I didn’t know better, I would think the guy is contagious.
Already started. Unsubscribed from Paramount +. Now it’s time to go after their advertisers.
Just unsubscribed from Paramount!
Been boycotting them since Paramount settled Trump's lawsuit. Not one of the major networks has shown an ounce of courage except PBS.
Oh it’s well beyond that time
So when he gets the $16 million, does he personally get that or what?
I was already there but I second your motion! 💯
I will but kind of only watch Survivor and I can get that on HULU. I started paying attention to the channels I DO watch and none are CBS. Crap network. I'll easily boycot
Just cancelled our Paramount Plus account
Doing it already except I'm watching Colbert and reruns of NCIS on Ion.
I came here to say the same thing!!
How about only viewing Colbert until the end? Drop all other CBS programming and especially local news and CBS stations. Be sure to contact your local station and tell why you are quitting the local news (and advertisers). Maybe we can keep Colbert at the top and then let the bottom fall out.
I am so glad I don't have a TV in my house anymore. There won't be anything left after he bends all the execs over and gives it to them.
Permantely
💯💯💯💯
Block CBS channels…got it!
Someone give a list on here of all CBS related stations, so we don't watch them! Ty

It would seem that the word "Choices" is better than Freedom.
Freedom is something even more precious... we are still battling at the level of Choices. It is getting very serious. That is why we must fight HARD, VERY HARD!!!
When is Kamala going to sue FOX for editing Trump interviews which affected HER election?
Yeah Kamala should sue fox for their coverage and the constant lying that they report
She knows better as she would be painted as a whiny loser !
Like Trump? We're in the sorry state we're in now in part because Kamala didn't want to be like Trump & challenge the stolen 2024 election results.
Hell NO - I have no use for the man and WISH HE COULD BE IMPEACHED
but we have wussies in the senate
I do NOT yet consider Kamala to NOW be a WUSSY PUSSY!
Her political career is now ended
She won't because Trump didn't "win" his lawsuit...CBS CAVED!! There was absolutely no legal merit to his case & a judge would've laughed him out of the courtroom...it just never made it that far because CBS is a sellout!
AND IT CENTERS ON WHAT RATE OF INCREASE IN PROFITS PER SHARE IS OBTAINED?
I definitely will NOT watch anything on CBS (except 10 months of Colbert) if i have to look at Donald Trump advertising.
I guess they will enjoy no viewership 🤷♀️ oh yeah. DON’T BE DISTRACTED
Right. Trump's just a crazy old freaker and every day brings additional news of his psychological decompensation. Shari Redstone should know better than to make a deal with this "genius." He always ups the ante after the deal is signed. And you're locked into an evil alliance with this crap.
See the deal with Lisa Murkowski that he canceled after she voted for the Big Ugly Bill.
MORE DETAILS PLEASE
The dumb bitch made a backroom deal for solar & wind projects in Alaska with Trump in order to get her vote for the Big Bullshit Bill then after she voted yes, he signed an EO ending energy tax credits & completely screwing the "deal" he made with her. Now she's "shocked" & feels "cheated"🙄
She should've known better. Murkowski & Susan Collins keep falling for Trump's lies & deceit over & over again.
Details? Alaska has oil. Oil companies do not like renewable energy. Trump wants to open up 13 million acres for leases to oil companies. Drill baby drill.

Crazy like a fox. Regardless of his massive intellectual defects overall, when it comes to corruption & strongarming people, there's no one more adept & effective at getting what he wants than Trump.
I don't see that now. I do know what you're talking about and it might have been true earlier -- the big dealmaker -- but now aging Donald has painted himself into a corner and his mental pathology is on steroids. This is what high double dominant authoritarian alphas do, they typically overperform earlier in their lives, but they go crazy when they don't see any way out of their own mistakes. His age and condition definitely do not help.
The reason it's hard to figure out is probably because they medicate him and he has periods where he seems almost coherent. But there's a definite mental decline in Donald Trump and we need to start addressing it.
THIS!!! YES!! Let's start talking about his mental decline with every interview & internet post he does!! He's declining FAST! The stress & schedule of the presidency is too much for ANYONE who's pushing 80 (regardless of party)!! We need to stop electing GRANDPA's!!
Not only that, but look what the GOP did to Biden? We should give it back on steroids. And authentically!
The selection dilemma includes criteria of TRUST and EXPERIENCE- he's been a lying con-man probably since his teenager days - just in different areas!
He's certainly in decline, but definitely not fast. People were noting his mental decline & signs of dementia back in his first term.
I stand corrected then. I'll admit I'm new to the REAL politics (about this time last year) so I wasn't really paying attention to any mental declines last term. Couldn't stand him then so I tried to avoid ANYTHING Trump related back then.
YOU are nominated to start keeping track of ALL his antics and addressing it !!
True, but until he is deposed &, better yet, imprisoned as he should've been long ago (& spared us from this horror), he remains in the most critical position in the world, which means he's still on top for now. I hope the situation soon changes, but every single time it looks like he's cornered & his time is up, he slips free. So I stick with my original statement. It's so perplexing how he keeps getting away with everything. But that's the world we live in today, ruled by corrupt, greedy sociopaths.
WHY HE SLIPS FREE? LIKELY BECAUSE TOO MANY REPUGNICANTS IN OFFICE ARE ALSO LIKELY ON THE BRIBE TAKE FROM BILLIONAIRES
Trump is neither adept nor effective. He is merely willing to push corruption beyond the usual limits, and he has a nose for corruptables who will go long and believe pretty much anything he says; they are that needy and that stupid.
Trump ALWAYS LIES and he ALWAYS CHEATS.
EVERY TIME. Most people realize that. More all the time. It's a rutted road with a cliff at the end.
He has had a lifetime of practice dealing in corruption. It is second nature to him. He doesn’t know how to act any other way. But he will make a misstep that will bring him down and perhaps already has.
CBS is done fuck that
What the hell? I don’t watch much TV, guess there will be one fewer channel to choose from for me.
Sky dance stock needs to tank and boycott CBS paramount
Cancelled our paramount plus subscription and wrote a review on the App Store to explain why! Pleased to see I was not the only one!
Send your cancelled Paramount fee to your local PBS/NPR stations.
They can do a lot with $60.
We need a congress that calls this a high crime. This is a joke.
Walter Cronkite wept.
As did Captain Kangaroo. 😢 29 years on CBS, 1955-1992.
Cancel paramount!

OVERWHELMED by the vast extent and your prowess to list all this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! That is a monstrous monopoly, a monopolistic monstrosity! I don't subscribe to or even use a single one of these brands, but I recognize a lot of these names.
We blocked! 👍🏽
Well he's taken away ABC, NPR, PBS and now CBS. He's continually threatening to cancel MSNBC. I guess it's you and all of you truth speakers on Substack!
It’s only a matter of time before he takes out MSNBC. None of the media have the guts to stand up to him. Very few of the colleges have the guts to stand up to him. Most of this country is bending the knee. It’s sickening. I am disgusted at how weak the people in our government are and our institutions and on media and so many of these other places who roll back their DEI. If they all had just stood up to him and his cohort, there’s no way this administration would be able to do what they are doing.
Yes, I believe you are correct about MSNBC. He has threatened. I currently am boycotting all corp. media except for MSNBC, but I am noticing some softening on their coverage of Trump with a few of the anchors. I am supporting many on Substack where truth to power is spoken with gusto, although I have no way of judging if MAGA is getting any of the positivity.
And the truth speakers will get even louder.
Anyone know why he hasn't attacked NBC?
They're in his sights. He's started making vague threats their way now. Think he's just going down the list alphabetically 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t know, but I’m hoping they’ll hold out for as long as possible.
They’re selling their soul
