It's another busy day of feud watching at Stone News Network. This time, U.S. President Trump is reportedly celebrating the recent cancellation announcement of Colbert's evening show. After the parent company was sued by the U.S. President, and settled with a $16 million dollar payment.
One can imagine the hatred shared between the two men. Is Stephen Colbert to blame? How about CBS who owns his show?

Another person threw their hat into the ring today, with Dave Portnoy attacking Colbert, saying "calling the late-night host “ungrateful” after Colbert’s show was axed by CBS in what the network claimed was a “financial decision.”
“For these people, including like Colbert, to be like, ‘This isn’t really right and we’re blindsided’ — buddy, you’re losing 40 million dollars a year,” Portnoy said in a video posted to X, citing one estimate of the show’s losses reported by Reuters.
“Welcome to the real f*cking world,” the Barstool founder said in the video, which he called a “rant.”
“And then you have the arrogance to go hammer your own company? What do you think was going to happen?” he asked.
Colbert has historically been a fierce critic of the president and previously went after CBS and Paramount for settling Trump’s claim, which the host called a “nuisance lawsuit.”
Portnoy said that Colbert should not have criticized his network so strongly, especially if his show was losing money. The New York Times estimated that the show’s losses were in the tens of millions of dollars.
“I’d fire you in a f—king heartbeat. That’s not politics. That’s just being ungrateful,” Portnoy said. “This is called capitalism, in the real world. “
We will continue to track these interesting developments.
