to having the other two Texas Democratic primary candidates on his show.

on consecutive shows so they each would have the "full time" during that show's segment, to make remarks and respond to his questions, instead of having what would amount to a crowd of competing voices on at the same time in a limited time slot.

The View also had Crockett on, but it was before the FCC issued it's new "guidance".

I don't give a damn the Conniving Backstabbing Sonsabitches network executives have to say.

I really wish they were running in different districts so both could win.

I'll take Colbert's word over Weiss' any day.

That's why I record it every night and watch it in the morning.

So then, no problem running it in it's entirety CBS..............

November cannot get here fast enough....................

Stephen Colbert or CBS...?

I don’t believe a word CBS (aka Bari Weiss) says. They’re denying because they didn’t expect a) for Colbert to call them out, even though they explicitly told him not to talk about it, b) for Colbert to actually proceed with the interview and post it on YouTube, c) for millions to have already viewed it less than 24 hrs later, and d) for the intensity of the blowback.

Run it on PRIME TIME twice.

However I believe it was actually recorded earlier ... like maybe a week or so earlier? I don't know this for sure, but Colbert had last week off, and the James Talarico interview segment was done before a live audience.

So maybe what happened is this: the live show was taped around 5 p.m. and then it was edited before CBS put on the air over a week ago. The Talarico segment was taken out and Colbert raised a stink about it with management afterwards. He was told he can't broadcast it on CBS, but he can use it on his own podcast. That's basically what he did, however he revealed all of this last night during the Late Show.

The show is taped around 5 p.m. so it didn't all happen on the SAME DAY. How could the segment have been edited, and the meeting taking place, and Colbert talking about it on the air at 11:30 last night? Not unless this is "Back to the Future" Part Z.

Well, we were never trying specifically to keep the horse IN the barn, that's why we left the door open. The horse you see, CHOSE to leave...nothin u can do about that,
is there? TAKE THAT, LIBS.

how networks execs were selling out the First Amendment to curry favor with corrupt politicians to which Colbert responded
"To fact-check you, my network said our cancellation was a purely financial decision and I remain grateful for the last eleven years."

It seems that he was covering legal bases, but it also seemed like a dig. Sometimes you can't tell with Colbert. Part of his genius?

Doing a side gig and providing CBS with legal advice?🤪😂

What a load of BS

Then they fulfill the edict of having on reps from both parties.

From the linked article:

The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled.

what are you doing?
I no longer bother with anything with a cbs byline.

Smells like shit
Sounds like shit
I don't need to taste it to know it's shit

the viewers, and eventually advertisers will flee, too.
