CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert shortly after he publicly condemned payments made to Donald Trump. While the network cites financial reasons for the timing, the cancellation closely follows Colbert's critique and is viewed as having possible political implications. This move impacts perceptions of CBS as it attempts to merge with Skydance and navigates regulatory approvals with the Trump administration. The situation blurs the lines between financial decisions and political influence, raising questions about network neutrality and corporate motives.
They chose to cancel the Peabody award-winning show in the midst of an attempt to sell Paramount to a company called Skydance, a merger that has to be approved by the Trump administration.
CBS wants it both ways. They want the viewers to believe they're an unbiased network and they want Trump to think they'll do anything he wants.
