FCC-Versuch, Stephen Colbert-Interview zu töten, geht völlig nach hinten los | Stephen Colberts Interview mit dem texanischen Staatsvertreter James Talarico ist eines seiner meistgesehenen Interviews überhaupt.

I don’t think they have heard of the Streisand effect

I actually liked James Talarico. Watched without knowing it was going to be controversial, he just seemed like a good dude that gets it.

This incompetence of this administration is the thing that makes me certain it will be toppled. They are just incredibly stupid in their execution of their moronic ideas, assuming that the entire public is as idiotic as they are. By and large they aren’t wrong – a good part of their voting base is equally mentally incapable. But the majority of people see what’s happening, and being told that something else is happening. Even Bush knew you can’t lie to all of the people all of the time. Denying people access to information by trying to censor it in any way, results in it being consumed much more vigorously. Had they simply aired it, most would not have paid attention.

Today CBS confirmed the FCC never told them or CBS News not to air it, and that the FCC only gave legal guidance over equal time as it pertains to the Texas primary between James Talarico and Jasmine Crockett.

The FCC was making sure Jasmine Crockett had equal time

Gotta watch THAT now!
