Recently, comedian Stephen Colbert—whose popular CBS Late Show will be cancelled next May despite being No. 1, in what many view as censorship due to his jokes about Trump—pointedly mocked the settlement the first chance he got, AP News reported.

As part of its agreement to allow an $8 billion merger between media conglomerates Skydance and Paramount, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has assigned a government monitor to CBS (which is owned by Paramount) to rein in perceived "bias" against President Donald Trump and his administration.

The Federal Communications Commission has approved the $8 billion merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media, claiming “significant changes,” are coming to the CBS owner.

Brendan Carr said CBS’s decision to “get rid” of DEI and “bias” was what “made the difference” in FCC decision to approve Paramount merger.

The FCC approved the transfer of CBS licenses to Skydance's ownership group, paving the way to the merger of Skydance and Paramount.

Brendan Carr discussed media course correction following Colbert's show cancellation and criticizes partisan content, highlighting Skydance's CBS News plans.

The company said it will conduct a “comprehensive review” of CBS after the merger goes through to ensure the network is operating in the public interest.

New Paramount's new management will ensure that the company's array of news and entertainment programming embodies a diversity of viewpoints across the political and ideological spectrum,’ Skydance’s general counsel wrote to the FCC this week.
