Stephen Colbert FIRED! Trump MOCKS Late-Night Host as CBS Cancels Anti-Trump 'Late Night Show' [Video]

Stephen Colbert FIRED! Trump MOCKS Late-Night Host as CBS Cancels Anti-Trump 'Late Night Show'

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show is being canceled by CBS in May 2026, just days after he called Paramount’s $16M Trump settlement “a big fat bribe” to smooth DOJ approval for an $8B Skydance merger. Trump celebrated the cancellation on Truth Social, mocking Colbert’s “talent” despite the show leading late-night ratings with 2.4M viewers. CBS claims the move is financial, but critics argue it’s political pressure to appease Trump allies like Skydance buyer David Ellison. Analysts warn this signals growing politicization of corporate media decisions. #StephenColbert #TheLateShow #Colbert #IStandWithColbert #SaveTheLateShow #CancelColbert #Trump #CBS #Paramount #Censorship #FreedomOfSpeech #PressFreedom #ColbertFired #BoycottCBS #BoycottParamount #SkydanceMerger #CorporatePolitics #LateNight ~HT.318~GR.125~

60 Min Breaking: Trump's BIG Win, Kamala Harris Ruined |CBS Forced To Pay $30,00,000 To US President

Trump WINS Big: Paramount Global and CBS have agreed to a settlement of over $30 million with Donald Trump over allegations tied to a 2024 “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris. Trump claimed CBS manipulated footage to favor Harris, prompting a $20 billion lawsuit. The settlement includes $16M in legal and library fees, plus a major eight-figure PSA campaign for conservative causes. As CBS executives resign and FCC scrutiny intensifies, the network denies wrongdoing—insisting the case is unrelated to the looming Paramount-Skydance merger. #TrumpVsCBS #DonaldTrump #CBSNews #MediaLawsuit #KamalaHarris #60Minutes #NewsDistortion #FCC #ParamountGlobal #SkydanceMerger #MediaScandal #PoliticalNews #TrumpLawsuit #BroadcastEthics #Trump2024 #WendyMcMahon #BillOwens #ScottPelley #LesleyStahl #NewsControversy #LegalSettlement #ElectionInterference #TrumpLegalTeam #CBSControversy #MediaBias #FakeNews #TrumpWins #ConservativeMedia #FCCPolicy #KamalaInterview #BreakingNews #TrumpWINS Also Read Deal With India With Less Tariffs Soon: US Prez Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deal-with-india-with-less-tariffs-soon-us-president-donald-trump-7788921.html?ref=DMDesc 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.125~
