Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said in a Wednesday opinion piece for Variety that comedian Stephen Colbert’s show may have been canceled by CBS “to curry favor” with President Trump.

CBS canceled Stephen Colbert's late night show last week. By not appreciating, defending and nurturing The Late Show Paramount is muzzling its best voices, and diluting its own broadcast future.

The corporate change comes as Skydance and Paramount wait for the FCC to greenlight their $28 billion merger. The companies’ concessions on DEI will likely convince the agency to approve the deal.
