🚨 BREAKING: CBS just called out their OWN HOST, Stephen Colbert, and Dem. Senate candidate James Talarico for LYING by claiming Trump’s FCC BLOCKED their interview from airing on TV In a statement, CBS said Colbert “was NOT prohibited from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled.” So Colbert didn’t want to have Jasmine Crockett on, so he made up an excuse saying the FCC barred his interview. What a loser 🤣

This is an extremely clear example of how the MSM lies and pushes false narratives. CBS did not prohibit or block Colbert's show from airing the Talarico interview. CBS just informed him that if he had Talarico on, he might have to have Jasmine Crockett on too. Last night Jen Psaki opened her show by reading a statement from CBS that said the network DID NOT prohibit Colbert from airing the interview. Psaki then spent almost her entire show repeating the lie that CBS DID block Colbert from airing the interview. Psaki claimed that Trump's FCC came up with a "new rule" to stop late night shows from having politicians on. Psaki's show ended with Jasmine Crockett, of all people, telling the truth, that CBS was not blocked from airing the Talarico interview. Colbert just didn't want to give her equal time on his show.

Last night, Stephen Colbert went rogue and ignored the network lawyers at CBS by talking about how he wasn’t allowed to have Texas Senate candidate James Talarico on without also having his opponents on due to “Equal Time” rules. He then taunted Chairman Brendan Carr by saying: “FCC You” Is Colbert going to get ripped off the air early?

It’s important that you understand what happened last night. Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue. In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired. CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.” In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump. But censorship always backfires. Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

CBS lawyers told Stephen Colbert he couldn’t have Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico on his show (and that he certainly couldn’t talk about this act of censorship either). He did both anyway, getting around the order by posting the interview on YouTube in a move that has since gone viral.

Tonight, the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air on CBS. The talk show, which has been running since 1993, was previously hosted by David Letterman. The network cancelled the show in July. This came after Colbert criticized parent company Paramount for paying a $16 million settlement over an edited 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, which President Trump claimed was unfair. Despite this, CBS cited financial pressures as the reason for the cancellation. So why didn’t they just work to cut costs? Today, Explained host Sean Rameswaram asks former late night host and comedian Larry Wilmore.

Jasmine Crockett is mad as hell at CBS and Stephen Colbert for wanting to air an interview with James Talarico because he was given what she claims amounts to free publicity for his political campaign, while she’s left on the sidelines. CBS ultimately pulled the interview and just published it on their YouTube channel, which nobody watches. To gin up interest, Talarico and Colbert lied and said Trump had them pull the interview, when in fact it was only pulled because it wouldn’t have been fair to other candidates per FCC guidelines.
