The liberal media’s latest meltdown over the cancelation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is a masterclass in hypocrisy and melodrama. MSNBC contributor Molly Jong-Fast recently went full drama queen, calling the show’s cancelation “really scary” and even comparing it to the McCarthy-era anti-communism hearings—a laughable exaggeration that reveals just how out of touch the left truly is.
During a segment on MSNBC, Jong-Fast hyperventilated over the idea that Colbert’s show was axed due to political pressure, claiming, “And even if it’s not quid pro quo, the idea of self-censorship. And I talk about my grandfather, Howard Fast, who was jailed by McCarthy during The House UN-American Activities, that our government has done this before, that history is very much filled with moments like this.” This absurd comparison ignores the simple fact that Colbert’s show was hemorrhaging $40 million a year—a business decision, not some grand political conspiracy.
MSNBC’s @MollyJongFast: Canceling Colbert isn’t funny, it’s “very scary”

Where was this sudden concern for free speech when the left spent years silencing conservatives, banning wrongthink on social media, and cheering as dissenting voices were deplatformed? The same crowd that weaponized cancel culture now cries foul when the free market decides a failing show isn’t worth the cost. The irony is almost too rich to bear.

Meanwhile, under President Donald Trump, free speech has been fiercely defended against the left’s authoritarian impulses. Trump has consistently called out Big Tech censorship, stood against media bias, and empowered everyday Americans to speak their minds without fear of retaliation from the woke mob. While liberals like Jong-Fast clutch their pearls over a canceled TV show, Trump is fighting to preserve the real First Amendment rights that Democrats have spent years eroding.
The left’s hysterical reaction to Colbert’s cancelation proves one thing: they can’t handle the same treatment they’ve dished out for years. The market has spoken—Colbert’s ratings and revenue were in freefall. But instead of accepting reality, the liberal media spins wild conspiracy theories, desperate to paint themselves as victims rather than admit their failures.
