"Wednesday morning, CBS News covered a CBS late night host bashing CBS News over a statement issued by CBS News attorneys. The ouroboric report was delivered by Nate Burleson on CBS Mornings, covering The Late Show's Stephen Colbert bashing the network over the conflicting claims being made about his interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D). Talarico is running in the Democratic primary for Senate in Texas against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)."
"Colbert lambasted the FCC, smug bowling pin Chairman Brendan Carr, and his own network brass for going along with what he described as an effort by the Trump administration to silence anyone who says anything bad about [President Donald] Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV, comparing the president to a toddler with too much screen time."
Stephen Colbert criticized CBS News after lawyers advised against airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico, citing concerns about new federal FCC guidance and potential equal-time rule implications. Colbert targeted the FCC and Chairman Brendan Carr, accusing them of enabling efforts to silence criticism of President Donald Trump and comparing the president to a toddler with excessive screen time. The interview was posted to YouTube, which is not subject to FCC regulation, and the clip drew millions of views across social platforms. CBS said it provided legal guidance, not a prohibition, and offered options to satisfy equal-time requirements. Talarico seeks the Democratic Senate nomination against Rep. Jasmine Crockett, while Republican contenders include Sen. John Cornyn, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Rep. Wesley Hunt. Early voting runs through Feb. 27 with Election Day on March 3 and runoffs on May 26 if no candidate wins a majority.
