        And parent company Paramount want a merger deal to be accepted by Trump’s administration so this is kissing the ring in order to profit.

      Stephen Colbert 's show was canceled, even though it hit high ratings and drew in huge revenue for Paramount.

      Likely due to the upcoming merger paramount has that needs approval from the Trump regime. Stephen Colbert dares to utter a single word against the godking.
