Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air interview out of fear of FCC
Colbert kicked off Monday's episode of "The Late Show" by saying that the network's lawyers told him he could not have Texas state Rep. James Talarico on the broadcast.
CBS is Trump TV. Less than two months after CBS News suddenly pulled a report on the regimeβs prison camps, CBS lawyers told Stephen Colbert that he couldnβt air an interview with a Texas Democratic candidate.
This is what complicity looks like.

President Trump keeps threatening to unilaterally impose rules (like voter ID requirements) on upcoming elections.
Mondayβs "One First" explains whyβwhether as a matter of constitutional law, existing federal statutes, or simple, practical logisticsβhis (ominous) threats are ultimately empty ones:
