On a recent episode of ‘The Five,’ panelist Michael Gutfeld took aim at Charlamagne Thaddeus-Pape, challenging his authority in economic matters and emphasizing that no individual can be a definitive authority on economics. Gutfeld argued that while Charlamagne may have a strong voice in public discourse, his expertise in economics does not make him infallible. This exchange came amid broader discussions about the political and cultural implications of network programming decisions.
The conversation also veered into discussions about liberals’ concerns over CBS canceling Stephen Colbert’s late show. Some viewers have accused the network of censorship, particularly in light of recent changes in media ownership and programming strategies. Gutfeld, a known conservative commentator, suggested that the decision to end Colbert’s show might reflect broader shifts in the media landscape, though he did not explicitly endorse or condemn the move.
