In reply to the discussion: So Stephen Colbert joins the ranks [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(20,121 posts)Any evidence to support your claim that all the advertising had been sold for the next year?
How about the advertising for Joy Reids show? She wasnt given 10 months to wind things up?
Why havent Rachel, Lawrence, Nicolle, etc. been silenced? Why hasnt Seth Myers been cancelled? Or Kimmel?
CBS cancelled James Corden, then After Midnight, and now Colbert. They are abandoning the Late Night talk show business.
CBS News, a separate division from the network as a whole, has shown its lack of integrity, and Sherri Redstone, the soon-to-be former owner of CBS, has shown her craven willingness to settle with Trump for millions of dollars to enable the sale of the network to a new owner. If silencing Colbert was a requirement for the settlement and more importantly, the merger/sale of CBS, they would have taken the hit financially and cancelled him immediately.
Youve admitted the 10 month delay is a cost saving business decision, so that pretty much refutes your silencing Colbert theory.
