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.

That's a pretty chicken shite move by Colbert. Will the lefties hold him accountable or just put their fingers in their ears?

Colbert didn’t want to have to hire a translator for Crockett. He knew the translator screaming into his earpiece while trying to decipher what she was saying during a live show would be difficult.

During the actual broadcast Colbert made it clear that CBS legal dept. informed him of the possibility of FCC’s expanded use of the equal time provision…

He never said the FCC itself blocked him.

Colbert doesn’t want to give equal time to a woman of color? I think we have a name for that.

Then James Talarico is a liar because he seems to be under the impression the FCC told Colbert he couldn't air it

I'm guessing the majority of people on earth would lie to get out of being in a room with Jasmine Ratchet

Talarico is a massive liar.

He’s worse than Crockett because he lies constantly about who he is and what he believes.

At least Crockett is upfront with who she is.

LOVE it. CBS is covering their asses. I also have seen CNN have to fact check a few people live on air as well!
