Midway through the most recent episode of “The Good Fight,” a legal drama that deals with Trump-era politics, a scene depicting a confrontation between lawyers and their clients abruptly stops. Shortly after, for about eight seconds, a black screen flashes the words, “CBS HAS CENSORED THIS CONTENT.”Some viewers saw the message as satire, just part of the show’s irreverent approach to current events, Michelle King, one of the showrunners, said in an interview on Tuesday. Others, Ms. King said, took it as the producers had intended: literally. An animated short was created on that same theme. But the short was pulled from the show at the request of CBS about two weeks before it was scheduled to stream, said Ms. King, who created the show with her husband, Robert King.
