CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig has criticized Democratic lawmakers for their attempt to obtain information about CBS’s decision to cancel ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ by 2026. Honig suggested that the lawmakers are wasting their time, indicating that the issue does not merit the attention they are giving it.
The cancellation of the show has sparked speculation about the reasons behind the decision. Some believe it may be related to declining viewership, while others suggest it could be due to changes in the media landscape. However, Honig argued that these theories are speculative and that the lawmakers’ focus on the issue is misguided.
Honig’s comments come amid growing pressure on CBS to provide clarity on the cancellation. Despite the controversy, CBS has remained silent on the matter, leaving many questions unanswered. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between media outlets and the legislative branch over matters of public interest.
