Trump FCC Chair Says Colbert Scandal Stems From Wanting to Give More Airtime For More Democrats'
"Well, President Trump has been so far ahead of the curve on so many issues, as you noted, on the economy, on border security, and perhaps nowhere else when he called out the legacy media for being fake news, replied Carr, adding: And yesterday, the American people got to see that on full display. And it's why people have more trust and faith in gas station sushi today than they do in the legacy news media."
"This was Democrat-on-Democrat violence. CBS was very clear that Colbert could run the interview that he wanted with that political candidate. They just said, you may have to comply with equal time, which would have meant potentially giving equal time to Jasmine Crockett and another candidate. But instead of doing that, they claimed that they were victims. This was all about a political candidate trying to get attention and clicks, and news media ran with it like lemmings. They just ate it up."
Laura Ingraham interviewed FCC Chair Brendan Carr amid a dispute over a pulled Colbert interview and equal-time obligations. Carr characterized the incident as evidence of declining trust in legacy media and said people now trust gas station sushi more than those outlets. Carr called the episode "Democrat-on-Democrat violence," saying CBS allowed Colbert to run the interview but warned equal-time compliance could require offering time to Jasmine Crockett or another candidate. Carr noted the Equal Time Rule recently extended to daytime and late-night shows and emphasized that broadcasters hold licenses and must comply with equal-time requirements.
