David Letterman accuses CBS of lying about Colbert show cancellation

David Letterman accused CBS of lying about canceling Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" this month, calling network executives "lying weasels." Letterman told The New York Times the decision was timed to appease the Trump administration during Skydance's acquisition of CBS parent Paramount, not for financial reasons as claimed. Letterman previously called the cancellation "pure cowardice.".
