The American people deserve immediate answers... "Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled," Schiff wrote on X. "If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better." "CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump — a deal that looks like bribery,” Warren wrote in a post of her own. “America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons." On Monday, Colbert unleashed a scathing monologue on his "Late Show" attacking Paramount for paying Trump $XX million to settle an absurd lawsuit over a "60 Minutes" interview with Kamala Harris during the 2024. The suit was interpreted by many in the legal community as utterly baseless and a blatant attempt on Trump's part to exploit the powers of the presidency to extort money. It came as Paramount was trying to obtain permission from Trump’s Federal Communications Commission for a merger with Skydance Media. By striking the settlement, many believe that Paramount was paying Trump off to rubber stamp the merger. "I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles: it’s big, fat bribe," said Colbert. On Thursday CBS announced the surprise cancellation of Colbert's show, calling it "purely a financial decision." They claimed that it was "not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." Paramount Global is CBS's parent company. Colbert has long been an outspoken critic of Trump. Last year, Trump unleashed a Truth Social post demanding that CBS "terminate his contract and pick almost anyone, right off the street, who would do better, and for FAR LESS MONEY." It looks like Trump finally got his wish. Please retweet and ❤️ to demand an investigation into Colbert's firing!
