My friends call me Kate (pronouns: She/Her), and I'm a lifelong Trekkie and Star Wars fan. I enjoy movies, TV, and comic books, and I also write fanfiction. I'd be posting more fandom stuff if the world wasn't going to heck.

this piece makes some important points including:
1) The FCC hasn't actually changed the late night equal time rules
2) Enforcement of a violation would be very limited usually requiring equal time for the other candidate(s)
Given all that, why did CBS censor Colbert? To keep Trump happy.

Censoring Colbert over a harmless interview with a Dem was an incredible own-goal by Trump's goons because millions more people watched it, it significantly raised Talarico's profile, and made it even harder for anyone to trust CBS, Paramount, and the FCC going forward.

James Talarico is amazing, but so is Jasmine Crockett.
I'm unsure what factions are coming together to promote one over the other.
Talarico has the ability to infiltrate evangelical circles.
Crockett brings the kind of fire we are begging dems to unleash on the regime.

CBS lawyers told Colbert he couldn't interview a Senate candidate. Couldn't show a photo. Couldn't show a drawing. Couldn't tell the audience it was happening. Based on an FCC rule that hasn't actually been changed. New piece on what CBS has become. www.readtpa.com/p/cbs-doesnt...
