Stephen Colbert Defies CBS and Discusses Pulled James Talarico Interview On-Air | Video
"And because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this," the late night host adds
“You know you know who is not one of my guests tonight? That’s Texas State Representative James Talarico,” Colbert started off. “He was supposed to be here, but 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. Then I was told in some uncertain terms that, not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on. And because my network clearly doesn’t want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”https://currently.att.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/a...Won't be long before the only things we see in the media, are what the regime wants us to see.

Put the entire thing on a public web site. CBS screwed because they did NOT pay for it AND it is NOT being broadcast, just distributed--same as any other info on the Internet.

Interesting comment on the YouTube interview of Talarico:
We've reached the state of fascism where the regime is censoring opposition candidates.

Colbert is free to say whatever he wants and to do whatever he wants, including have interviews with Talarico and others, according to the First Amendment.
Everyone knows that, right?
What Colbert is not entitled to, is to do those things on someone else's media platform, while that other media platform pays him millions of dollars for the privilege.
Colbert needs to stop whining.
It's just white male privilege/entitlement.

*Boggle*
Amazing.
In europe, there are entire schemes to outlaw opposition political parties - way more than candidates. This board is aligned with that.
In the United States, the previous administration conspired with tech companies to ban messaging it didn't like, throw people off of tech platforms and engaged in lawfare against private citizens and the other side.
And someone is saying we're just now doing this?
Player, please.
