A few weeks ago, Paramount, which owns CBS, announced that it would pay $16 million to settle a laughable lawsuit in which President Donald Trump claimed the network had committed consumer fraud by editing a pre-election interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris to make her seem "less dumb.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has called on Paramound and Skydance to respond to questions about the details of a $36 million settlement agreement with Trump.
The FCC still hasn’t approved the Paramount-Skydance merger, which may be where Colbert joins the saga. The cheeky host roasts Trump regularly on his show and is far more political than David Letterman, whom he replaced in 2015. On July 14, Colbert called the Paramount payment to Trump involving "60 Minutes" a “ big, fat bribe ,” on CBS’s own air.
Colbert followed “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart’s attack of the deal one week earlier. Stewart works for Comedy Central, also owned by Paramount, making the two comics the most visible internal critics of the $16 million settlement that was announced on July 1.
