Stewart likened the situation to the collapse of CD sales\u2014noting that the music industry didn\u2019t give up on music altogether. After conceding that Paramount has $8 billion at stake, he made a sharper point to his parent company: \u201cThe shows that you now seek to cancel, censor, and control?
