    X, Meta, ABC and CBS — Trump sued and won $67 million in lawsuits. He loves to sue.

    Yeah, neither unbiased journalism or hiring only qualified candidates would be guaranteed. It will be business as usual.

    Late night talk shows are not funny anymore, nothing close to a Johnny Carson type in any of the hosts. No one stays up for late night any more. It’s on-demand or clips on tik-tok. That shows you that the thrill is gone. Colbert will be leaving, the door is open for the other two hosts.
