Some members of the Democratic Party are theorizing that the cancellation of "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert was political in nature, claims which arise amid a Trump settlement with Paramount and a forthcoming merger between the company and Skydance Media.

A Fox correspondent delivered a warning to colleagues celebrating President Donald Trump's FCC for targeting The View: what goes around could well come around. The post Fox News Correspondent Warns Colleagues Not to Celebrate Trump’s FCC for Targeting The View: Next Administration ‘Could Do the Same’ to Fox first appeared on Mediaite.

Brendan Carr, FCC Chairman, joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to respond to allegations that the Trump Administration pressured Paramount into a settlement agreement before approving a merger with Skydance.

Hours after announcing the approval of Skydance’s merger with Paramount, FCC chairman Brendan Carr touted the company’s commitment to “addressing bias & restoring fact-based reporting” at CBS News, among other things.

Brendan Carr defended new Skydance-Paramount newsroom oversight, saying it's “time for a change” and aims to restore trust in media and unwind DEI policies.

Skydance needs FCC approval in order to take over Paramount. It’s now promising to root out “bias” at CBS News in order to get it.

The settlement came amid a pending merger with CBS parent company Paramount and Skydance, which requires administration approval. Colbert blasted the network for settling with Trump in what he deemed a “nuisance lawsuit” in a monologue on his show prior to being given the axe.

In a social media post Tuesday Trump said, “We also anticipate receiving $20 Million Dollars more from the new Owners, in Advertising, PSAs, or similar Programming, for a total of over $36 Million Dollars. This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit.”
