CBS claims "financial reasons" while paying $16M to settle Trump's frivolous lawsuit days before cancellation. The admin that inherited a $26M deficit now spends millions silencing critics—Trump's Truth Social gloating proves this wasn't about budgets.  

A $40M annual loss pales next to Paramount's $8.4B merger needing admin approval. When Colbert called their Trump settlement a "bribe," his show suddenly became "unprofitable." Coincidence? This admin can't handle mockery—they bankrupt casinos but claim fiscal wisdom canceling TV's top-rated show.  

America once jailed satirists under British rule. Now we elect them—and they silence dissent with merger approvals.
