Keep seeing references to Colbert's viewership as a counter to CBS's claim of financial issues: viewers are not the customers. Those are advertisers, who are buying the presentation of a viewpoint. They don't care about how many people see the message if the message isn't furthering their goals.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
