Is CBS destroying the Late Show with Stephen Colbert for financial reasons, as they claim? Or are they kowtowing to Trump and his billionaire friends.
Let David Letterman explain:
"I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying.
"Let me just add one other thing. They’re lying weasels.”

@gleick No one with a brain believes that shutting down Colbert is a result of monetary considerations.

@gleick In the Netherlands we just had our 4th of may memorials. We honour the people who died for our freedom in WW2. We know what's happening. History tell's us.

@gleick @outer Of course it wasn't financial reasons. Of course they're kowtowing to the orange clown. I'm wondering how long it is before Disney caves and cancels Kimmel again.
