“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night called CBS’s denial of his claim that it blocked the broadcast of his interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico “crap” — and urged the network and its parent, Paramount Skydance, to stand up to the “bullies” in the Trump administration.
Colbert’s broadside came hours after CBS issued a statement on the controversy.
The host, whose show will end in May as it was canceled by CBS, held up a printed copy of the network’s statement about Talarico’s interview during his show Tuesday night and said, “I don’t even know what to do with this crap.”
colbert could have offered the other candidates an interview with the same terms. he had no intention of doing so. crockett even said so. the fcc called her saying that this was going to happen and she had the right to appear on his show.
if he wasn’t going to invite her on, then that interview can’t air on the public airwaves.
instead of taking up for him and blaming everyone under the sun for the incident, why isn’t anyone asking why he wouldn’t have her on? not unless the consipiracy of “CbS cEnSoRs 4 tRuMp!!!” rules all around you.
you think trump cares about a democratic primary race for a senate seat more than likely staying red airing? this is so far beneath him AND weiss.
Damn, the bootlick bots have reached Lemmy. Truly a sign of the end times.
I didn’t have “Lemmy .ml user goes to bat for zionist democrat candidate” on my bingo card for today, but here we are.
I love how the immediate past involving Kimmel proves you wrong. You’re angry at nothing but your own poor assumptions. Namely, that this admin is capable of a level of respect they’ve literally never demonstrated the capacity for.
Show me a single moment where the Trump admin has acted in response to criticism the way you just magically described they would. Because I can point to literally hundreds of examples of Trump lowering the bar far below where people like you constantly bitch it couldn’t be lowered. Now below the bodies of two Americans it never needed to be after people like you bitched “ICE wOuLd NeVeR.”
And despite being proven wrong again for the 30,000th time, here you are still bitching about a depth Trump wouldn’t lower the bar under. He would. Based on the fact he literally always has to the point where the US is now an international embarrassment at best, and a collapsing nation at worst.
You’re defending the worst kind of pedophile imaginable for embarrassingly snowflake reasons.
You’re a fool if you believe that. Also the fcc rules exempt talk shows from giving equal time. You have no idea that Crockett is not wanted. In my view they don’t want to invite the republican candidate.
user instance checks out.
The only things below Trump are the children he raped.
Lol shut up
Do you really think you’re going to get an intern position working between Trump’s FCC chairman and Trump’s CBS owner? Because honestly you might.
