Hilarious, he just said the other day he wasn’t responsible for blocking that interview. What do you call this now?

Stephen Colbert to Carr – First Amendment – also, eat a bag of dicks.

Does Brendan Carr realize he’s a pussy? Colbert is running circles around him. Talerico riding the Streisand effect and this pussy is like “I’m the law”. Nice picture Brendan.

Stephen Colbert is not responsible for enforcing the law. He does however have the right to freedom of speech.

If you threaten someone with the rules, and then that person follows the rules, and then you bitch and threaten afterwards, you are a fucking sham and waste of time.

Did they even air the interview on TV? I thought they just put it on YouTube and last I checked the FCC has no authority over the internet.

If CBS wasn’t ran by a bunch of cowards they’d sue the FCC over this rule instead of cowering at every turn.
Like if CBS wanted to donate money to one candidate, you wouldn’t hear abort equal time. They wouldn’t have to donate to each candidate. It would be protected first amendment speech.
But apparently they can’t control what literal speech takes place on their platform?
Imagine having all that money and not using it to stand up for your companies most basic rights.

lol…
Every time Carr tries to censor Stephen Colbert, it just makes him more popular and gets more views for the thing Carr didn’t want us to see.
James Talarico is now a household name across the country.

Is this a “law” though? I don’t believe it is.

Has anyone checked if Carr is in the Epstein files? Seems like 99% of the people doing Trump’s work are in there.

Colbert has handled the so well! I pray he moves an entire political show to YouTube when he leaves.

Just another Republican who selectively applies laws/regulations to their political opponenents and not their political allies.
Like ICE but with fewer bros and a bigger mouth.

It is not Colbert job to enforce the law. It’s actually your job, Carr. The job you claimed you weren’t enforcing.

They really have a hard on for Colbert, you know he must’ve hurt orange baby’s feels real bad.

Question: How come the “fairness doctrine” applies to Colbert but not right wing talk radio? Last time I checked they’re both broadcast media.

Carr proved The Colbert Effect is far stronger than Streisand Effect. Well done!

What a joke.
“about stopping legacy media from picking winners and losers in elections. It’s so that the American people can decide.”
Ok so by this logic then, when are they going to move to get rid of Citizens United? Bunch of unserious and transparent assholes.

Dude literally went on Fox News to talk about it? WTF.

Make Fox do the same then.

This is the exact rationale that the Citizens United Court said you’re NOT allowed to use as a justification to burden speech. Conservatives have no shame.

Stephen Colbert is following the law. He even broke down the law and explained the exception that the law makes for talk shows. He knows his rights

I can’t wait until Colbert is free of CBS and free reign to really go off.

>”Enforce the law”
The FCC is out of its mind. And by the way, Colbert has no obligation to “enforce” anything. Is he an enforcement officer now? Smh.

That reminds me, need to watch the YouTube video of Talarico again.

I find it laughable that the FCC is claiming that Colbert can’t interview someone based on partisan politics due to their “equal time” policy when it’s clear to anyone with a functioning brain cell that the “equal time” policy hasn’t been enforced accurately for decades. It’s so obvious it’s being weaponized because Trump hates Colbert and the GOP doesn’t like the candidate and would do anything to kneecap his campaign.

While we’re out here “enforcing the law” there’s a pedophile in the White House.

Never forget, Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC literally wrote the FCC chapter in Project 2025. He’s a defender and supporter of the Heritage Foundation.

Invite republicans on and only grill them on why they’re blocking the release of the Epstein files. Or just keep bringing Massie on.

They definitely don’t want Colbert interviewing (eviscerating) Republican idiots.
