CNN’s Fischer: Even If the Decision to Cancel Colbert’s Show Was Political, CBS Has ‘Enough Plausible Deniability to Say It Was a Financial One’

EXCERPT:

FISCHER: "Jessica, if it was a political decision, they have enough plausible deniability to say that it was a financial one because of the current state of late-night and comedy television. It‘s very expensive to produce something live every single day, and viewership and ratings for traditional television continue to drop. So even if this was political, CBS can get away with saying it wasn‘t. But I think what you‘re seeing from Senator Warren‘s tweet is that people just don‘t believe that this was a total financial decision, given the backdrop of what you just announced, the settlement with Donald Trump, all the political pressure, etc."
