BROADCAST BIAS: Idea of giving politicians equal time sends Colbert into a fury
Fox News
Stephen Colbert clashes with CBS over FCC equal time rules after Texas Democrat interview controversy, revealing tensions between late-night comedy and political regulations.
When that YouTube video drew over 8 million views, it was painted by liberal journalists as a great victory over President Donald Trump. But Trump never objected to this interview.
Colbert had to unfurl the nightly rant about being a courageous dissident and all that rot: "Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV, OK? He’s like a toddler with too much screen time. He gets cranky and then drops a load in his diaper."
Then, surprisingly, CBS put out a statement that suggested Colbert was a liar, that the interview was not banned: "The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett." On Tuesday, Colbert sputtered. "They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS's lawyers."
