cbs is engaging in political censorship to appease the Trump administration but Colbert's Late Show really wasn't good comedy. Colbert Report was good comedy but viacom was litigious about the Colbert "character" and Colbert himself was paranoid after "cancelcolbert" in 2014 and then he was anyway.
