quote:

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.”


I'm sure the FCC come and requested the source of them barring that from showing. And when they had nothing.....

The head of CBS would throw their own mother in a wood chipper to not get in bad graces with the FCC. So of course they would out this.

Don't matter though. The morons who watch will run back to the show and continue to believe 100% after the actual network proved them to be liars.

Libs.. remember... you do their work for absolutely free. Even the dumbass protesters have the sense to get paid something. You do it for absolutely free.

The moral of this story is we have 3 leftists that are all blatantly lying.

I thought he was fired. Why is he still on and more importantly why does he have any authority left to decide who will be on the sappy arse show or not? When we fired people, their desks were emptied with supervision and escorted out by security.

Your thought was wrong. He wasn't fired, Trump just "framed" it that way.

He was told his show would not be renewed when his contract was up in March. The reasons given make little sense... he's number one in that timeslot, and the show makes money despite what CBS claimed. The new owner of CBS is a Trump supporter and seems hostile to the show because Trump hates it. Had Colbert been outright "fired," his contract would have required CBS to pay him a huge amount of money for breaking it.

The actual "ratings" of all TV shows are declining as young people view things differently and don't sit down at 10:30 or whatever to watch an entire show, but Colbert, Kimmel and Fallon still get much higher ratings than anything else on at that time and then get huge streaming numbers over the next day as younger people watch it on those services and youtube. That kicks in another layer of revenue for the shows and network.

He is an unfunny, untalented, unhappy little bastard.

Sounds to me like he was fired but you call it what you want.

Google still hasn't corrected their story about this. What a shock.

Joe Rogan has a staff of 2? Colbert has a staff of 200! think about that. No wonder CBS is cancelling it. The guy dances around all night and talks about Trump 99.8% of the time.

You aren’t fired when your contract expires and you aren’t offered a new one.

Talarico just was blindsided and set up. Nothing will happen to Colbert because he was the setup man. Now Talarico's campaign is in a tailspin and Crockett has the clear path.

What's the basis for this statement? He claims to have raised 2.5 mil since the stunt and is getting a ton of free air time.

99% of the population had no idea who this guy was 48hours ago. Now he's on the AP News site, Colbert's tantrum has been shared hundreds of thousands of times, and Talarico released the interview on the twitters.

That’s exactly why Stephen is talent and not a lawyer.
