    The Issue: CBS canceling “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” amid major financial losses. There is no conspiracy behind “The Late Show with
    Stephen Colbert” being canceled (“A ‘$40M’ money pit,” July 19).

    It comes down to dollars and cents; loss of viewership equates to loss
    of revenue.

    I strongly recommend that all late-night hosts study Johnny Carson and
    Jay Leno on YouTube. Learn what is funny and entertaining from the
    masters.

    “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s” cancellation is what happens when a progressive woke infomercial becomes irrelevant and is no longer of
    any use.

    It got old having to endure Colbert bashing President Trump every night.
    No new material, leftist guests and a seal-clapping audience are not entertainment.

    The usual suspects are whining that Colbert’s canning was political. Elizabeth Warren has her war bonnet in a twist. The fact that Colbert’s
    show cost millions and lost millions doesn’t dawn on these people.

    Hopefully Jimmy Kimmel will take his act and fade away also.

    Not only is President Trump “Making Radio Great Again” by defunding PBS
    and NPR, but CBS has canceled “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” I’m surprised it took this long to get rid of this propaganda drivel.

    I don’t know if I can handle all this winning.

    A lack of interest is one reason for canceling shows like Stephen
    Colbert. However, the near-constant diatribes against President Trump is another good reason, in my opinion.

    Around 77 million people elected Trump — and those are just the ones who
    got out and voted. All of those people were sick of Colbert.

    Instead of calling Colbert’s and Seth Meyers’ shows “The Late Show” and “Late Night” show, they should be more appropriately called the “Hate Show” and “Hate Night” shows.

    Memo to CBS: Colbert was never “in the pantheon of greats.” That would
    be Carson, Leno and David Letterman.

    Colbert’s snarky Trump-derangement comments — along with Jimmy Kimmel’s — killed late-night comedy as we knew it.

    The Issue: Tulsi Gabbards’ charge that Team knew Russia did not affect
    the 2016 election results. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi
    Gabbard just reported — with documented evidence — that former President Barack Obama was responsible for feeding the story about Russia
    influencing the 2016 election (“Tulsi: How ’coup’d you miss it,” July 21).

    I watched as the media reported on this accusation every day. Certainly,
    if Obama is indeed guilty, then the ex-president succeeded in damaging
    Trump and his reputation. Meanwhile, Obama and his crew sat silent on
    this story, as many others repeated their lies in almost every newscast
    for years. Obama hoped to watch Trump slowly die a death by a thousand
    cuts, but it didn’t work.

    David Lipton

    Toms River, NJ

    If what Tulsi Gabbard has discovered turns out to be true, all members
    of the Democratic Party should hang their heads in shame.

    President Trump was denied so much because of the Dems’ hatred. They
    tried everything to discredit him, all to no avail.

    Democrats put hatred in front of serving their country. For this alone,
    they should be held accountable and face the consequences.
