And because my network clearly doesnt want us to talk about this, lets talk about this, Stephen Colbert said after CBS canceled a Texas congressmans appearance on Mondays Late Show.

Texas State Representative James Talarico did not appear as scheduled on The Late Show on Monday, and Stephen Colbert addressed his absence in a segment he was strongly advised against.

You might have heard of this thing called the equal time rule, OK? Its an old FCC rule that applies only to radio and broadcast television not cable or streaming that says if a show has a candidate on during an election, they have to have all that candidates opponents on as well. Its the FCCs most time-honored rule, right after No nipples at the Super Bowl. STEPHEN COLBERT

But on Jan. 21 of this year, a letter was released by FCC chairman and smug bowling pin, Brendan Carr. In this letter, Carr said he was thinking about dropping the exception for talk shows because he said some of them were motivated by partisan purposes. Well, sir, youre chairman of the FCC, so FCC you. Because I think you are motivated by partisan purposes yourself. Sir, ya smelt it cause ya dealt it. You are Dutch-ovening Americas airwaves.

Lets just call this what it is: Donald Trumps administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV, OK? Hes like a toddler with too much screen time. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diaper. STEPHEN COLBERT........................................

(1,958 posts)when NPR went with the Facts........true Journalism...........They called it as it was, with no political leanings. Of course some of the facts lead to trampling the Republican's flagrant lies and Propaganda.......
All that ended when Newt Gingrich, and his "Contract On America" BS came crashing down on NPR, and PBS, threatening to pull all their federal funding unless they IMMEDIATELY started giving the Republican view points on every thing. No matter if it was outright lies, and/or total fabrication, completely removed from Reality/Reason.........So NPR started the: "He said, She said" to make Newt and his band of merry Republicans happy.........
