South Park skewers Paramount-Trump settlement after signing big rights deal
The South Park season opener has taken aim at Paramount for settling its lawsuit with US president Donald Trump, airing just one day after the show’s creators signed a five-year deal with the network reportedly worth US$1.5 billion.
The episode, named Sermon on the Mount, starts with news the president had cancelled NPR, the US national public radio service — a reference to the Trump administration’s real life funding cuts.
“The government can’t cancel a show … I mean what show are they gonna cancel next?” asks Cartman, ominously.
