I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.

That this is occurring in the United States of America is shameful. But this is what America is today. Until these times pass, it is impossible to say that we have “a government of laws, not of men,” as our Founding Fathers and the Framers of our Constitution intended and provided.
