CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just days after he torched their $16 million Trump payoff—and the timing couldn't be more suspicious. Meanwhile, Congress slashed $1.1 billion from NPR and PBS at Trump’s urging, gutting emergency broadcast systems and trusted local journalism in rural communities.

In this blistering commentary, Lean to the Left’s Bob Gatty connects the dots—from Colbert's cancellation and Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, to the GOP's war on public broadcasting.

Is this about saving money—or silencing dissent?

We’re witnessing a full-frontal attack on independent media and the First Amendment. From rural towns that depend on public alerts to late-night satire that speaks truth to power, the danger is real—and it’s coming for your freedom of thought.

🧠 Mind control isn’t just science fiction. It’s the MAGA playbook. Wake up.
