NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr. Colbert went on air and revealed it anyway. “He was supposed to be here, but… 1/

we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.” 2/2

Paramount is the parent company of CBS. It’s owned by Trump supporter Larry Ellison who installed his son David Ellison to run it. #BoycottParamountPlus The Ellisons can afford to sink CBS, especially CBS News. But even billionaires get hurt when they loose billions.

If the DNC was not so 🤬Weak they would be suing the 💩 out of CBS and the FCC!!! Anyone who cares about freedom of speech should be suing CBS and the FCC right now.

The DNC has no standing to sue. If any party organization has standing, it is the DCCC. It would be so nice if commenters with “bright” ideas would learn what the DNC does and does not do.

There are MANY MANY lawsuits the Democrats have filed citing constiutional harm. However, when the ENTIRE government is controlled by Republicans and Trump - they go unheeded. They do not appear.

I think Colbert would be great at questioning a republican in an interview. They wouldn't want to show up and if they did they would be destroyed.

"Let's just call this what it is: Donald Trump's administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV, OK? He's like a toddler with too much screentime. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diaper." -- Colbert

The Orange Stain and his lackeys will do anything in his power to keep Jasmine Crockett off the air. If the interview were aired, she could have requested equal time since she is running in the primary against him.

This is why All AMERICANS NOW should not use their power of the purse on all these media companies trying to put a stranglehold on our #1stAmendment BOYCOTT THEM ALL OUT OF EXISTENCE before it's too late. It's the only way. They survive only if they keep getting our money👇 bsky.app/profile/scre... 👇

#CBS & #Paramount are no longer a staple of American Democracy since being hijacked by the fascist leaning, Trump loving #EllisonFamily & the #Paramount/Skydance merger. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social was forced out because of his 1st Amendment right to speak the truth. #Boycott #Paramount/Skydance 👇

America this story should scare the hell out of everyone. EVERY Republican needs to be voted OUT. We cannot ignore the facts. Trump and his goons are trying to stop the truth and control free speech. STAND THE HELL UP AMERICA.

If there is an equal opportunity rule that Colbert must abide by then first you have to be given the opportunity to interview Talico before CBS demands Colbert interview a Republican in kind. CBS chose censorship in the guise of upholding the rules of equal opportunity.

"There is nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism." "Culture wars are a smokescreen." Hallelujah. Truth. Talarico is a bright, talented, & wise man. I just wish he & Jasmin Crockett weren't running for the same seat. I would like to see both in our federal legislature. I like them both.

What ‘legal reason’ would prevent it being broadcast? No, it was a ‘political reason’ decreed by the totalitarian dictatorship in Washington, led by #DuceDonny and conveyed by ‘Reichsfuhrer Müller SS’ directly to CBS

After Trump and his clique are gone, people will remember who supported the censorship...and this will already backfire on these ass-lickers.

Bravo to Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel,Seth Meyers, for all you do for democracy and freedom itself. Keep fighting the good fight! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

If a natural (or man made) disaster happens & reporting the truth about the disaster may hurt or embarass Trump, WILL CBS REPORT ON THE DISASTER IN FULL EVEN IF THE REPORT MAY EMBARASS TRUMP?? IS REPORTING THE TRUTH LESS IMPORTAN TO CBS, THAN EMBARASSING TRUMP? IF SO, THEN WHY KEEP A NEWS DIVISION?

If Ellison& Weiss make such myopic decisions regarding Colbert's interview of a "candidate for Democratic nomination(not a nominee)in Senate primary just to stay in good graces with Trump, THEN SHOULD WE BELIEVE CBS IF CBS REPORTS ON A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, NATURAL OR MAN MADE? CBS SHOULD REPORT NEWS!

Stephen Colbert is -- and has always been -- a man who follows his conscience. That's an extreme rarity today. Imagine how great a country the U.S. COULD be if politicians followed their conscience and did the right thing for their constituents!

Honestly? He should just start doing youtube content in addition to the show. Then when his time is up he will have lost nothing. And gained so much more. Meidas with the addition of Colbert. Kimmel, Stuart and hell we can even have John oliver!

You know why they are scared of this guy. He has it all. Christian background but exposes much of the evangelical bullshit used to demonize everybody but the RWA (rich white assholes). Hopefully not too many skeletons cause he does have future presidential possibilities.

I just watched the interview with State Rep. James Talarico. He is very impressive. It’s sickens me that CBS, once a great news network has fallen so far. I’m hoping 60 minutes disappears and shows up on another network so I can start watching it again.

America this story should scare the hell out of everyone. EVERY Republican needs to be voted OUT. We cannot ignore the facts. Trump and his goons are trying to stop the truth and control free speech. STAND THE HELL UP AMERICA.

"James Talarico is a prominent Democratic politician in Texas currently serving as a member of the Texas House of Representatives for District 50. He is currently running for the U.S. Senate in the 2026 election, aiming to unseat Republican incumbent John Cornyn." Google AI

Don’t you folks have a Constitution? With a First Amendment? With clear cases that established that Prior Restraint is illegal under the 1st- Specifically Near v. Minnesota, 283 U.S. 697 (1931) and New York Times Co. v. United States, 403 U.S. 713 (1971) (aka the Pentagon Papers) ?

I guess was being a little performative - if it’s obvious to me , across the Atlantic , without any formal education in American history or politics , you’d hope everyone would be shouting about it in the USA!

Make no mistake this is all bc of the Epstein class, namely trump and his Epstein administration, raping children and protecting pedophiles Their disgusting secret is out and controlling the press gives them some continued sense of control. #EpsteinAdministration

Maga christians are confused by this. Whenever their child raping king tells them to drop their overalls and bend over the hay bail, they do it, gladly. The maga primitives can’t understand why others don’t bow before their child raping king.

This is what happens when you put a vindictive authoritarian in charge of government agencies. Using the FCC to intimidate networks into suppressing political opponents' speech isn't "regulation"—it's straight-up retaliation and abuse of power. Disgraceful.

This is what “cancel culture” actually looks like: corporate media pre-emptively censoring a comedian out of fear of a partisan FCC chair. State power doesn’t need bans when intimidation does the job. Colbert saying it anyway is what free speech looks like under pressure.

If Colbert tapes at 5;30 for an 11:30pm air, how did Colbert use Talorico interview without being stopped? I get that it was used for streaming but the mentions, etc happened on air. How was it not stopped?

Because these are the ones who need to be on a list for expulsion at a minimum. they capitulated to a usurpation of power from The People.

The YouTube ~2,600,00 audience for the Talarico Interview has now exceeded the entire average nightly broadcast audience for the show, which was recently recorded at 2.42 million viewers on CBS. The Trump regime is not only corrupt and proto-fascist, it is exceedingly stupid.

This is going to be so much fun when the next Dem administration starts doing this shit to Fox News. Their heads will literally explode on air over this type of stuff.

Thank you, Colbert for taking the time and energy to explain to your millions of dedicated viewers that the word came directly from the lame, racist, unlawful, psychopathic leader of the free world

Its time to cancel anything to do with CBS. This includes Paramount Pictures, Showtime, and Nickelodeon. This is how they will suppress our candidates. NO FUCKING MORE. REMEMBER THAT MOVIE....I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE...IS ANYONE ELSE THERE YET ????🤷‍♀️

Its a lot, too many to name. So its gonna be hard but I'm doing my part and thanks for the offer to help !! So far I've canceled Paramount and changed Weather Channel over to Weather Nation. The biggest thing is to STOP the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. It can't happen !!

GOOD CHOICE, COLBERT!!At least, THERES SOMEONE in the media WITH THE BALLS and backbone to SHOW those hypocrites. HE WONT be intimidated, WONT BACK DOWN, !! Gotta love this guy!...TAKE NOTE, you cowards at ABC, NOT EVERYONE that works/ worked for you, will tolerate YOUR COWARDICE! TOUCHE, STEPHEN!

Hi - Texan here! I’ve been an ardent fan of both Crockett and Talarico for some time. Talarico currently represents San Antonio in Texas House, though not directly in my district. Crockett is amazing and gets lots of national exposure. I’ll enthusiastically vote for whoever wins the primary.

CBS IS DEAD! BARI WEISS WHO IS A PROPAGANDIST, PUPPET & PET FOR THE TRUMP REGIME & ELLISON, DESTROYED CBS. SHE TURNED IT INTO A STATE RUN MEDIA & MAGA PROPAGANDA NETWORK. SHE SERVES THE FELON. She blocks stories & shows from airing. BOYCOTT PARAMOUNT/CBS. CANCEL ALL PARAMOUNT+ SUBSCRIPTIONS.

They shoot themselves in the foot. Millions of views on YT. Just type C and it pops up. They just gave him a huge push. Those who didn’t know him, well, now they do! Quite the masterminds… fucking clowns.

What comes next? I have not donated in a while. I am in the middle of a divorce, I have zero cash right now. I have no spousal maintenance or settlement yet. I am going to commit to donating $5 to the dems running for important office. If I can live in my car, still work as a caregiver, can you?

CBS is NOW part of the Authoritarian Regime STATE takeover of the MEDIA!! Trump's ORWELLAN WORLD is taking over our Democracy! DICTATOR'S CONTROL ALL MEDIA and ONLY BROADCAST what GRANDIZES Their DICTATORIAL REGIME!!

Probably not all of them. Orange Hitler has given Nazi Miller a lot of free rein to terrorize our country, because Orange Hitler is too busy plotting his next grift to STEAL more Money or pick whatever building to put his GD Name on!!

I don’t like the way the Colbert-Talarico story was released. This Talarico story coming out during early voting seems like a ploy of powerful men to put their thumbs on the scale to make sure Jasmine Crockett does not win. Why Colbert held his story to the morning of early voting? Dirty politics.

Exactly! I don’t know what it is about him, but I think he hates strong women. Hillary was more qualified, but the energy the media put in to bringing her down was evil…and as if that wasn’t enough then, we had Comey to pull something like that on Hillary later. We see through those shenanigans.

Once again proving that power does not come with intelligence, the regime has ensured that this interview elevates a candidate & is seen by more people due to the controversy, rather than being the noise of another interview in an election year. We may have to rename the Streisand Effect.

Some equal time bs that the FCC up until now didn't give a fuk about. If they enforce this on left leaning broadcast TV then they would have to enforce it on over 1000 right wing radio talk shows. Does anyone think this will happen?

CBS Has A New Shameful Name Weiss has zero network TV experience. She can’t inform viewers. She’s not serious. Her rightwing, billionaire bias is a big mess. CBS is now recognized as, “See? BS!”

Unfortunate viewpoint, look where white guys got us. Yes he’s a good candidate however our overall system needs Crockett & more women with similar qualities to repair the dysfunction and move our country forward WITH OUR allies here & abroad.

Releasing these to the public would end the Republican Party, the FBI and the DOJ within 24 hrs. Probably why they are not going to be released. Merrick Garland needs to be investigated also.
