CBS is denying an accusation from Stephen Colbert, the network’s top comic and host of “The Late Show,” that it prevented him from airing an interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico.
Colbert during his Monday show told viewers that attorneys for CBS told him “in no uncertain terms” that “we could not have him on the broadcast,” referring to Talarico, a member of the Texas House.
“Not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on,” the host continued. “And because my network clearly does not want us to talk about this, let’s talk about this.”
CBS in a statement to The Hill denied Colbert’s account.
“The Late Show was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico,” a spokesperson for the network said. “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.”
It was “The Late Show” itself, CBS said, that “decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options.”
The Hill reached out to “The Late Show” for comment.
The back-and-forth comes as President Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair, Brendan Carr, has floated doing away with a department rule that exempts daytime and late-night talk shows from the FCC’s equal-time protection, which dictates all candidates for public office receive equal time on public airwaves.
Colbert, during his monologue, tore into Carr, mocking his appearance and arguing he is motivated by a desire to please Trump.
“Let’s just call this what it is: Donald Trump’s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV, because all Trump does is watch TV,” the host said.
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, a Democrat, also blasted Paramount, CBS’s parent company, over the dispute, saying it amounted to political censorship.
Paramount has made headlines with sweeping changes to its news division in recent months and last year canceled Colbert’s show, which is slated to come off the air this spring.
The broadcaster at the time said Colbert’s cancellation was necessary given rising financial pressures facing the company.
Critics accused the company of seeking favor with Trump as it sought the administration’s approval for a merger with Skydance. And on Tuesday, Paramount renewed talks with Warner Bros. Discovery to acquire its entertainment and news assets.
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.
The Chiefs, who missed the playoffs in 2025 after reaching the Super Bowl in each of the three previous seasons, created $43.65 million in cap space. It marks the fourth consecutive year that Kansas City has restructured Mahomes' contract.
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.

In actuality it will most likely never happen. Actually highly unlikely to ever happen. I'm certainly no constitutional expert, but from my understanding it would take an amendment to the constitution in order to change this.
To amend the constitution requires a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate (or a convention called by two-thirds of state legislatures) to propose, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures.
We can't get both parties to agree what color the sky is on any given day.
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.
Nobody is supposed to talk about history that happened so long ago. No more talk about the constitution. No more talk about the Declaration of Independence. No more talk about the founding fathers. No more talk about the revolutionary war. I'm pretty sure they still want to talk about those things. It would almost seem they're being selective about the things they do and don't want to talk about from long ago based on "their feelings" which dictate that part of our history has "long been dead".
But like all tech before this, we need a watchdog to make sure it doesn't hurt us more than it helps us.
I don't trust this administration to oversee anything. Trump has proven over and over again that he cannot be trusted..He will do what's best for himself and his family and his wealthy buddies. The rest of us are not worth his time.
It's already being used to change perception of reality.
Geesh
What part don't you understand
What part makes you think Ballpeen does or doesn't understand?
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:

I would like to remind you of something. When you leave your home to go on a trip, you have a clear direction in which you must head to reach your destination. With each passing mile you get closer to that destination. We are traveling down that road with a clear direction. We are rapidly passing those mile markers.
Showing how we're traveling down that road in the exact same direction, headed towards that same destination isn't to deflect or minimize anything. It's just a heads up for those who refuse to read the warning signs.
You don't start out where you end up. There are many miles between those two points. Wherever you go, there you are. We're getting closer and closer to being there.
You are right. We have a friggen communist in the NYC mayor's mansion.
By the way, that isn't going well.
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.
No, a numbers guy is a numbers guy. There are a lot of them out there. So you're saying he was kept to fix the clusterfudge cap mess he himself created?
It should be a law a federal employee cannot shoot into a closed door.
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 how people could form the opinion that was political grandstanding. But when the other side actually convenes a grand jury in an attempt to prosecute and imprison them for that? Trying to minimize the huge contrast between those two things by shrugging it off by saying such a threat to their freedom was nothing more than "The whole thing was political grandstanding by both sides" is a sad commentary to the direction our country has headed in.
These two things are NOT the same.
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.
I find the entire thing hilarious. The very people who claim the other side are the people who get #triggered and are #snowflakes had a total meltdown over a halftime show. And the headliner of their "alternative half time show" was so triggered over a trans person doing a Bud Light ad on the internet he broke out his automatic rifle and shot up a case of Bud Light. Yes, they selected him as their poster boy......
