I have heard that the reason YouTube crashed everywhere (I think it was yesterday) was because Colbert's online interview came out, and the whole world watched it. I am pleased to think I helped when I posted it on Facebook and Bluesky. 😁
You telling me that Free Speech Absolutist Bari Weiss is working for a network that is censoring WHO its late night comedy host can interview?
SURELY she will be all over this! Quit in solidarity like she claims she quit the NYT! Surely a free speech absolutist like Bari will Stand Up for the free speeches!
Apropos of nothing, in that frame of the Colbert-Talarico interview, above, Mr Talarico looks strikingly like the young Dave Foley, of _The Kids in the Hall_. I admit, I miss that show still.
We’re pretty close to state-run TV. These are very sad times when Congress sees the Constitution being slowly burned and not defending it as their oath spells out.
I can’t completely understand how law makers can watch this shit go on, day after day and not demand that enough is enough. We are in full-blown authoritarian and autocratic rule.
I understand loyalty but we are beyond that…it’s one thing to be loyal however, when that loyalty supersedes our nation’s rule of law, then tyranny rules.
All the real journalists are leaving corporate media for Substack and podcasts. Pretty soon, CNN is just going to be Jake Tapper and Scott Jennings reminding everyone that Biden is old.
I love how that CBS "splaination" about their "worries" over the ( non-existent ) "equal time" rule made sure to mention the name of Jasmine Crockette when it talked about being fair to the other candidates. I would guess they thought their phony "equal time" rule applied only to potential candidates running in a primary, and not candidates from the other party looking to run for the same position.
Way to be transparently fuckheaded. They should have kept Jasmine Crockette's name out of their fucking "legalese".
Equal Time Rule applies only to broadcast TV. Honestly, the idea that "airwaves" are limited is obsolete, but there it is.

The equal-time rule was not broken, it’s a talk show, and how many of those on Fox News did candidate Trump call into where no one asked Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton to weigh in? LOL, nothing matters anymore.
The older she got, the fewer fucks she had to give. I remember the first time she deployed the F-bomb. I must have been about 14. She was yelling at my father and calling him "fuck face." What a time to be alive.

What does Matt Taibbi think about this?
Fuck Trump.
I am sure David Brooks is at this very moment composing a thinkpiece while enjoying a protein matcha and a prosciutto and arugula panini.
wait wait wait wait wait

oh...wait...
I just watched the interview, and Talerico will be good for Texas. I wish him well!
A Christian who really is one.
No shit! I thought they were extinct!!
Stephen Colbert says the network lawyers said, in no uncertain terms, that he couldn't air that interview.
The network lawyers say the only notified Colbert of the possible legal ramifications and offered to guide him through the possible responses.
Who to believe?
Narrator: The above question was rhetorical in nature.
It's a puzzle.
Way to Stephen!
Ta, Marcie. Brendan Carr needs to crash.

I'm crushing your head!

Are we ready for that?
They're not law makers. They're rubber stampers.
Cowering under their desks.

Remember during the campaign when the major networks would show hours of an empty podium before Trump even spoke?

for allegedly making Kamala Harris look too smart.
FFS!!!!🤦
You have to remember in trump's tiny brain everything is a zero sum game. Her intelligence makes him feel stupid.
If the shoe fits, jam it up your ass, as my mother would say.
Your mama had a potty mouth? 😳

A chimp digging in its ass should make him feel stupid...
"Air Force One jets to be repainted in Trump’s preferred colors"
Pathetic, and very expensive. What a vile piece of shit that disgusting old man is.
Urine yellow and post-breakfast brown…
Gold leaf?
The dude has the taste of a four year old.
We're lucky it's not the White House...
Just wait
Arrrrggghhhhhhhh
Do they not understand that a gold colored plane looks like a flying piece of shit? Could that be what they were going for?
I can't pretend this is a win.
