Remember the storyline in V for Vendetta where that late-show host makes fun of the Dear Leader, and eventually gets head-bagged late one night, never to be seen again?

I'm surprised honestly it hasn't already happened in the new USA. I am willing to bet cancelling this show was a secret clause of that $20 million 'settlement' (bribe), agreed in a smoke-filled room and never written down, as additional incentive to allow the Paramount merger.

What a fucking horrible regime the USA has become.

EDIT: Someone pointed out on another posting of this news that The Late Show is one of their most popular shows (or the most popular late-night show at least), too. This is obvious pandering for favour.
