Happening NOW: Our massive Save Colbert billboard truck is circling the CBS/Paramount headquarters near Times Square showing updated petition signature counts as we hit new milestones.
Yesterday, nearly 100 of us marched from Colbert’s studio to CBS’s headquarters. The corporate execs sent a wall of guards to meet us at the door. (They are following our activism!)
We were not deterred! We delivered 250,000 signatures from people just like you, and media captured boxes of petitions in front of the logo of CBS’s parent corporation Paramount!
The CBS and Paramount execs would prefer we go away. But we will not because this is bigger than one TV show.
Moments ago, Donald Trump’s FCC chair unilaterally approved the $8 billion merger between CBS’s parent company Paramount and Skydance – days after Colbert was cancelled for calling out a “big fat bribe” of $16 million from CBS directly into Donald Trump’s bank account.
As Jon Stewart said Monday, what these companies have done represents “the fear and pre-compliance that is gripping all of America’s institutions at this very moment, institutions that have chosen not to fight.”
WE ARE FIGHTING BACK.
Over multiple days, our billboard truck will show a growing number of petition signatures listed. And media continue to report on our escalation against CBS and Paramount.
We need yours to get to 300,000 so we can update the truck circling CBS.
Ironically, with the corrupt merger approved, they may have more incentive to bow to public pressure and renew Colbert’s show challenging Trump every night.
Thanks for being a part of this fight.
