The REAL Reason Stephen Colbert is a Money-Losing Failure

Nowhere in the rant does Jake mention the fact that Colbert was losing $40 million per year for CBS. But Jake is an expert on bad ratings… The Lead on CNN averages viewership in the 600-650k range, for a distant 3rd. Context: Will Cain on Fox in the same timeslot averages well over 2 million.

Colbert was cancelled because no one watched his show. Ratings matter. His show was unfunny and unwatchable. The only reason the network kept him on the air for so long is because he reflected their political view. The exact opposite of what partisan hack @jaketapper claims.
