CBS has decided not to renew “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” citing financial reasons not content, reported Friday.

However, the announcement came three days after Colbert called out the , the parent company of CBS, and has led political leaders and 成人X站 host Spike O’Neill to question the television network’s motive.

“I think it’s an indicator of a much bigger situation, because it comes on the fact that Donald Trump has been suing various television networks,” Spike said on “The Jake and Spike Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio.

Colbert said he was “offended” by the $16 million settlement reached by Paramount, which is waiting for Trump administration approval on its pending sale to Skydance Media, and called it a “big fat bribe,” according to The AP.

“The fact that CBS has a potential merger 鈥� a huge merger 鈥� because they’ve been struggling financially, the entertainment division struggles,” Spike said. “CBS is being picked up by an organization called Skydance. It’s a multi-billion-dollar merger. It’s got to be approved by the FCC, which is controlled by the Trump administration’s FCC.”

Did CBS have ulterior motive for canceling Colbert?

Therefore, Spike posed the question, “Did CBS settle this lawsuit with Trump for $16 million in cash in order to maybe win favor from him for this merger?”

“Is this another attempt by CBS to appease the Trump administration, who seemed to be pretty retaliatory, to make sure their merger goes through?” Spike added. “That’s what I don’t like about this. Colbert wasn’t fired for content, wasn’t fired for performance.”
