I don't believe the network(s) who are trying to stay in the good graces of this administration in an effort not to lose money or gain mergers.

Wouldn't the fact that Jasmine Crockett has already been a guest on Colbert already mean they are meeting their equal time obligations?

CBS has lost all credibility! Like everything that comes from this criminal regime, everything is propaganda that has one purpose, hide the real facts and create a civil war so Trump can stay in power.

They crave dirty politics like a drug addict craves another fix. Nothing would make MAGAts shrivel up in Trumps 💩 diapers like a podcast episode featuring Crockett and Talarico together talking about party unity. 💙✊🗽

Brendan Carr is doing shipments right out of Toilet, Titanic, Donnie's Playbook; Neither one believes in Freedom of the Press. It's time to shove this Sewage filled Administration, down the drain.

Amazing that people running a major television network don't understand the Streisand effect. Thank god trump and republicans are all dumb as fucking posts.

Colbert did the right thing. As of now YouTube leaves things alone. I saw the interview not earth shattering but interesting. The current regime is trying to censor things as they lose their grip on the US.

Yeah, CBS has forfeited any benefit of the doubt because it has already decided to commit to censorship, so what’s more likely? That the show was provided options to comply with phantom rules, or that it was censored outright? I believe Stephen.

lol. CBS: you can air it if you give a lengthy interview to Charlie Kirk’s widow. Colbert: Uh, no. CBS: how about Ted Cruz? He’s from Texas, sort of. Colbert: nah. CBS: any of the washed up people who pander to the right? Kid Rock? Scott Sorbo, or whatever? Colbert: … CBS: …you can’t show it.

Not about that. bsky.app/profile/egra...

Seems some are confused. The Equal Time Rule exists. It’s current law. Carr is seeking to abuse the news exemption it contains. (Because he’s a fascist idiot). The Fairness Doctrine is something entirely different. It was an FCC policy. It’s gone. It has nothing to do with this latest news. 1/
