    Why would they capitulate further by getting rid of the most popular late night program if it was profitable?

    Trump is blocking the merger of CBS/Skydance/Paramount. Hence financial decision.

    Wouldn’t trump want them to cancel it sooner?

    Of course, but as a famous deal maker, this is the best Trump could do.

    If they were canceling it to get someone critical of trump out of there why wouldn’t they just replace colbert with someone more favorable to him?

    They will. They’re throwing Trump a bone and will replace the show with some POS pedo right-wing grift-fest. They can’t have anyone on-air who Trump doesn’t have kompromat on.

    I think more cancelation announcements are likely.

    Hell yes they are. Anyone even slightly critical of the regime must go if the Eye of Sauron gazes upon them.
