CBS Pulls Interview with Senate Candidate, Colbert Claims

CBS Pulls Interview with Senate Candidate James Talarico

A scheduled interview between Stephen Colbert and James Talarico, a candidate for the Texas Senate, was pulled by CBS after the Trump administration’s FCC made threats. The interview was set to take place as early voting began in Texas.

According to reports, the Trump administration’s FCC threatened to revoke licenses of news outlets that aired the interview. As a result, CBS decided not to proceed with the interview.

The incident has sparked accusations from Colbert and others that the Trump administration is attempting to censor opposition voices. The details surrounding the threats made by the FCC are unclear.

Talarico had been scheduled to discuss his campaign and policies on Colbert’s show. The cancellation of the interview has raised questions about the limits of free speech in the United States.

The incident highlights tensions between the media and the Trump administration, which have been ongoing throughout his presidency.
