And here's the actual reason why all of this happened. Same candidate different show. Investigated over a rule that isn't even as rule yet for talk shows. If you aren't smart enough to understand the intimidation being applied to the media where they are willing to bring the full weight of the federal government down on them, you are well beyond help.......

The View Is Being Investigated by the FCC After Airing Political Interview

The news comes after Stephen Colbert was blocked from airing an interview with Senate candidate James Talarico this week, with CBS lawyers citing the FCC's Equal Time Rule

NEED TO KNOW

'The View' is being investigated following an episode featuring Democratic Senate Candidate James Talarico, with the FCC claiming the broadcast may have violated the Equal Time Rule

Although FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the agency was looking into an "enforcement action" against the show, he didn't provide further details

Carr's remarks come after Stephen Colbert's interview with Talarico was not allowed to air, after CBS lawyers also invoked the Equal Time Rule

The head of the Federal Communications Commission said the agency is exploring “an enforcement action" against The View after the talk-show welcomed James Talarico, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas, as a guest on a recent episode.

“We’re taking a look at it,” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr told reporters on Wednesday, Feb. 18, but didn’t provide further details, according to Deadline.

Since earlier this month, The View has reportedly been under investigation for potentially violating the Equal Time Rule, a restriction that prevents favoritism by forcing broadcasters to provide commensurate airtime to opposing candidates, if requested.

The View had no comment when PEOPLE reached out on the FCC chairman's comments.

However, a network source told PEOPLE that the panel show regularly hosts sitting leaders and political candidates from across the political spectrum to discuss current events and differing viewpoints. That format is consistent with how The View has operated for years and what audiences tune in for.

For example, The View has also had one of Talarico's Democratic primary opponents, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, on as a recent guest.

During his appearance on the panel show, Talarico said this year’s Texas primary is “something unique.”

“We’re on the same team, Jasmine and I,” Talarico said. “We’re trying to change the politics of our state and take back this country… I got elected to the state house by flipping a Trump district that no one thought was winnable, in a county that was so red it hadn’t voted for a Democrat for president since Jimmy Carter.”

Carr’s comments come days after Stephen Colbert, 61, was blocked from airing his interview with Talarico on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colbert instead put the interview online, telling his broadcast viewers that CBS's lawyers cited the Equal Time Rule while telling him he “could not have” Talarico on the show.

In response, CBS said in a statement shared with PEOPLE that Colbert's show "was not prohibited by CBS" from broadcasting the interview and was "provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett."

During his Feb. 17 show, Colbert responded to the CBS statement before crumpling it up shortly after saying, "I'm not a lawyer and I don't want to tell them how to do their jobs. But since they seem intent on telling me how to do mine, here we go."

"Fellas, I am well aware that we can book other guests. I didn't need to be presented with that option," Colbert continued. "I've had Jasmine Crockett on my show twice. I could prove that to you, but the network won't let me show you her picture without including her opponents. So I'll have to show you this picture of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein instead."

He added, "They told us the language they wanted me to use to describe that equal-time exception. And I used that language. So I don't know what this is about. For the record, I'm not even mad. I really don't want an adversarial relationship with the network. I never had one."

Colbert, whose show is ending in May after 11 years, said he was “grateful” for the network and "so surprised that this giant, global corporation would not stand up to these bullies."

"Come on, you're Paramount. No, you're more than that. You're Paramount+," he joked. "Plus what? I guess we're all gonna find out pretty soon."

"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me, it was really surprising," he concluded.

I have a hard time seeing how our contract/cap issues right now are affecting the portion of the roster that's by-and-large made up of league-minimum salaries and late-round draft contracts. Coverage units, in particular....


I could see the argument if our specialists were letting us down, as those salaries are on the lower side... but they actually bright spots, overall.

And often times men that want to compete and win in their profession move on because of the situation they are in. I suppose you could blame that on the team or the player. Sometimes you have to provide an environment that makes people want to stay.

So just to be sure of what we all already knew - Trump's racist remarks about Obama were his and his alone.

And just so we're clear - if you say and post racist things ... it makes you a racist. I mean, as if not allowing black employees in certain positions in your businesses wasn't enough, or ordering them off the casino floor and for them to be non-visible when you visit.

Genesis....Squonk

Since his passing many in the movie business have come forward and given tributes.

I have seen him interviewed many times. The one role that was hard on him was The Great Santini.

He came from a strict military father and the role haunted him. He was so good as the character Bull Meechum.

He loved "Tango" the dance and married a gal who is a terrific tango dancer. He wrote and directed the movie Assassination Tango and it was during the filming he met his future wife.

He said it took him ten days to read Lonesome Dove and 16 weeks to film it. And that was the best time in his life and his favorite role.

He will always remain in my eyes as the character Augustus McCrae.

I remember when people were lauding this contract (comparing it to when Watson's was restructured) saying it would never be restructured. Lol.

As a hobby, it's really become very approachable on any budget. So user friendly now too. My dinosaur literally takes 10 minutes of trial, error and fumbling with thumbscrews just to level the print bed. The Bambu I posted above self-levels before every print in a second or two. Granted, that's not something I have to do often, but a big PIA when I do.

Also, most newer print beds have flexible, removable covers that allow you to "coax" your prints off much easier. Mine requires fresh Kapton tape every 50-75 prints. Getting that on with no bubbles is rocket surgery... imagine sticking your hands in a small box to put an adhesive sheet on a 10x10 print bed that cannot have a single bubble when you're done. You think cellphone protectors are bad?! Plus, I have to gently chisel my prints off; one small gash in the tape and back to some rocket surgery. That will summon swear words you didn't know you had in your vocabulary.

If you're still on the fence for a while, there are some killer deals on Amazon for Prime Day and Black Friday/ Cyber Monday. I'll probably hold out until then before I buy mine.

Yeah, that's exactly what I posted directly above your post.

I think that would heavily depend on what your definition of "stole" is. It certainly wouldn't fit the definition of the word.

What other choice do we have? But the reality of the situation as I see it is this.

It's the same movie we've been watching since 1999 only the cast of the movie has changed every time it has been re-released. At least in the last remake we had a great DC. This time it's an entire cast of unknowns that have never played these types of roles before.

We hope for the best. But as they say, when all else is gone hope still remains. When that's all you have left it's the only thing that remains to hold onto.

RIP Jesse Jackson. I wanted to post about him yesterday but this thread is in the Everything Else forum. It's virtually impossible to talk about his life and legacy without it being centered around religion, civil rights and politics. None of which topics are to be discussed in this forum. Other than his family, those three things were the centerpieces oh his life.

Geesh

Short track is just Absolute Chaos on Ice with knives strapped to your feet. I've only been able to watch a couple of runs, but it's just absolutely insane. All of the little cones marking the track get knocked all over the place, you can't tell where the track is anymore, bodies are sliding into walls constantly..... it really is just a battle of attrition.

I can't think of anyone who has suggested that. By "taking a flyer" it would suggest using a later pick as in past the first round to see if they can be the answer. I would hope they don't use one of their first two picks on a QB. But beyond that I wouldn't have an issue with it.

What we have been discussing as far as I know has been spending a chunk of FA money on a QB who has been in the league for four years and has yet to earn a starting spot after having a chance to start by the team who drafted him. The suggested amount was 20 million a year. In FA and spending a huge chink of cash like that I think it would be better invested in a proven player. While it may not pay a starting G's entire salary it would pay a huge chunk of it. If you plan to sign depth players and nothing more than yet another huge question mark, I don't think spending that kind of cash in FA dollars make sense.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news because the site has ran well for the last couple of weeks or so but I got another error message today and also about 3 days ago after trying to log in:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\WebRoots\dawgtalkers.net v2\libs\mysqli.inc.php on line 208

Classy young man,, Good for him!

Think on a bigger scale. Promoting fascism as your alternative is probably worse. And that isn't going so well for people in power who have spoken out against it.

Debatable....

What's not debatable is that someone cannot lie when giving sworn testimony. ICE agents are being deployed like they're a goon squad, and we're seeing behavior in line with that.

I get it. But it is a classical double standard… We can do stupid things to stoke our base, but when you do things to stoke your base we will cry foul and then try to indict you…. Because we can. Nanny Nanny boo boo. Or… Kiss my Grits.

The inmates are running the asylum.
