    July 2: Paramount and Trump settle bullshit 60 Minutes lawsuit for $16 million

    July 14: Colbert criticizes the lawsuit saying it’s a “big fat bribe.”

    July 17: CBS announces that Colbert is cancelled

    Paramount is in the process of a large merger with Skydance Media, which must be approved by regulators (including those controlled/affected by the federal government)

    It wasn’t as blatantly corrupt, but it was still corrupt.
