    Kimmel and Colbert should start a new, online studio/network. They could attract real talent. They could start small like College Humor or Funny or Die and build from there.

    We need socially responsible people in charge of media. I’m actually surprised at how easily the media has caved.

        Stewart has comedy central, which at the moment, is not as cencorous as Disney.

        There’s also likely contract limitations.

        Still, it would be great.

        Or a less perfect option, Colbert and Kimmel could join Comedy Central, but again, I think there’s contract limitations.

      The media hasn’t “caved”. Corporate media’s only principle is more money and power for the elites that own it, and they’re acting on that as always.

      That takes a lot of time and investment. If you look at what Don lemon is doing, you can see the type of sponsors he’s getting.
