Breaking: Stephen Colbert accused CBS and the FCC of blocking an interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico after lawyers, citing new FCC “equal time” guidance, warned the segment could trigger equal-time obligations for rivals including Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Colbert said he was told he could not air or even mention the interview; CBS pushed back, saying “The Late Show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico” and that it offered legal guidance and options. Colbert instead posted it to YouTube. The dispute highlights rising FCC scrutiny of talk shows and growing corporate caution nationwide. (apnews.com)
