Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, February 17, 2026

Stephen Colbert tells his audience about who was not allowed on his show: "That's Texas state representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then, I was told, in some uncertain terms, that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on. And because my network clearly does not want us to talk about this ... Let's talk about this."

Reminder that Paramount Skydance needs approval from Trump's minions to buy Warner Bros.

Yesterday, its subsidiary CBS banned Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with TX Democrat James Talarico.

Larry Ellison is sucking up to Trump by turning his media empire into MAGA propaganda.

The problem CBS has is FOX News has programmed their braindead viewers to view it as a liberal hellscape, so even with the recent acquisition by Larry Ellison and the complete overhaul of the staff, MAGA is still programmed to hate it.

CBS official statement:

THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. 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. THE LATE SHOW decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options.

Colbert explained on his show that the FCC's "equal time rule" was the given reason for the Talarico interview being yanked off the air. He instead ran the interview on the show's YouTube channel, which is not under the jurisdiction of the FCC. CBS's statement suggests that the network would have allowed the interview on air had Colbert also invited Crockett on his show for an equal amount of time and promotion.

The "center" is a myth that supports the status quo, not changes it.
