Letterman in particular has been a vocal critic of CBS’ decision, most recently calling the network “lying weasels” in an interview with New York Timesjournalist Jason Zinoman: “He was dumped because the people selling the network to Skydance said, ‘Oh no, there’s not going to be any trouble with that guy. We’re going to take care of the show. We’re just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry?’ I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing, Jason. They’re lying weasels.”

Heh. Sic, ‘em Dave.
