AllSides Media Bias Rating: Right
Despite admitting that the reason Colbert was fired and the show canceled “could be financial,” Hostin wanted people to heavily lean toward it being “purely political.”
In contrast, co-host Sara Haines actually put weight to the numbers that supported that the firing and cancelation was due to financial failures of the show, pointing out that Colbert had lost $40 million.
