Charlamagne the God condemned CBS's decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, labeling it an authoritarian move and a suppression of free speech. He pointed out that the cancellation appears to be an effort to appease Donald Trump in light of Paramount's merger with Skydance Media. Colbert's announcement of the show's last season followed shortly after criticism of Paramount's financial settlement with Trump. CBS defended the action as a purely financial decision unrelated to the show's performance or content.
Canceling Colbert is an obvious move to appease Donald Trump, he said on The Breakfast Club Friday, referring to Paramount's upcoming $8.4 billion merger with Skydance Media, which will require approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in order to move forward.
This is textbook authoritarian rule. This is intimidation tactics disguised as legitimate legal actions. Paramount and CBS should be ashamed of themselves.
