Part 2/11:
Steven Colbear had long-standing issues with the conservative circles within CBS, openly criticizing corporate executives on his show. However, critics argue that his criticism lacked authenticity, considering his own lucrative salary—reported at around $16 million annually—from these very corporations. This financial dependence calls into question the sincerity of his moral outrage, especially given his frequent self-proclaimed Catholic identity, which he touted as a moral compass.
His critics pointed out the contradiction: if he genuinely believed CBS embodied moral turpitude, why did he not resign in protest? Instead, Colbear appeared to exploit his position for personal gain, remaining anchored to one of the most overpaid jobs in linear television while vocally condemning his employer.
