CNN’s Jake Tapper tried desperately on The Lead on Friday to connect the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with parent company Paramount’s legal drama with President Trump. Tapper admitted he had no evidence for this but still found the whole thing to be “interesting” and promoted anonymous sources to help him advance his conspiracy theory.
During his monologue, Tapper recalled an interview Colbert gave with PBS where he called Trump “boring,” which led to Trump calling for Colbert to be fired. After a clip, Tapper observed, “And here we are ten months later, Colbert has been canceled, and PBS is losing its federal funding. Interesting.”
Not really, but because Trump reacted gleefully to the news, Tapper continued, “And in case you wondered how the president took the news about Colbert, he posted on Truth Social, quote, ‘I absolutely love that Colbert got fired.’ He's still not satisfied, though. ‘I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.’ That's what President Trump said.”
