"It should be troubling to all of us, regardless of our political affiliations or our political beliefs, that the most powerful people in the country, the most powerful politicians and the most powerful corporate executives, are working together to sell out the First Amendment, to sell out our freedom of speech, in order to protect their own power and their own wealth," Talarico said.

"And that should be concerning to all of us, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, whether you're a progressive or conservative, because an attack on any one of our First Amendment rights is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights."

JT ended the interview with one of his best lines; "This is not about Left vs Right, this is about Top vs Bottom.".

What really happened with Carr is in the thread article:

"To back up for a moment:

On Monday, Late Show host Stephen Colbert told his audience that the network said that he couldn't interview Talarico on the show, citing the FCC's new guidance on equal time rules for political candidates.

"[Talarico] 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," Colbert told the audience.

"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."CBS responded Tuesday with a statement explaining its reasoning round the equal time rule, which in turn sparked pushback from Colbert, who said that he "really don't want an adversarial relationship with the network."

"So we obeyed our network and put the interview on YouTube where it's gotten millions of views. And I can see why," Colbert said Tuesday.

"I wish we could have put it on the show where no one would have watched it ... but here's what I do want to tell the lawyers how to do their jobs.

They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS's lawyers, who for the record approve every script that goes on the air " whether it's about equal time or this image of frogs having sex. That's a true story."

- CBS lawyers aren't going over every thing Colbert says

"They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS's lawyers, who for the record approve every script that goes on the air " whether it's about equal time or this image of frogs having sex. That's a true story."

"or this image of frogs having sex."

Sound like they are pretty thorough... but of course, as the World's Only Chinese Psychic, you KNOW that Colbert is lying?

Does your Mom still let you play with your food?

1Nutjob and Fishpaw.... it's like a drooling contest, rofl!

The Trump Gov takes over the Media on many fronts, and they just sit there with the same stupid looks on their faces.

Remember when Republicans were small Gov and patriotic?

Now they love whatever Trump's Gestapo does... and love them a guy in the WH who tried to Rig the Election with his DOJ.

Which only failed because they threatened to resign en masse.

Traitor Trump and his Band of Buttkissers.
