What's This About?
This post disputes Stephen Colbert's claim that CBS and the FCC blocked his interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico from airing on broadcast television. According to the post, CBS clarified that Colbert was not prohibited from airing the interview but was instead given legal guidance about FCC equal-time rules that would require giving airtime to other candidates like Jasmine Crockett. The post suggests Colbert fabricated the obstruction narrative to avoid complying with equal-time obligations.
