Colbert Cries Foul as CBS Blocks Talarico Interview
Stephen Colbert accuses CBS of pulling his interview with Democrat Texas Senate candidate James Talarico due to new FCC guidance from Chairman Brendan Carr, which demands equal airtime for political candidates on talk shows. CBS lawyers nixed the segment to avoid violating rules, prompting Colbert to air it exclusively on YouTube and blast his network for preemptively enforcing what he calls overreach.
