Carr says the Federal Communications Commission has also opened an enforcement action into ABC’s the View

The chair of the US’s top media regulator claimed on Wednesday that journalists had been tricked into covering claims by the late-night host Stephen Colbert that he had been blocked by his network from interviewing a Texas Senate candidate.

Brendan Carr, the avowedly pro-Trump chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), made his comments after Colbert accused the Trump administration and CBS of censorship.

CBS has countered Colbert’s claims in a statement, saying it had not blocked him from interviewing James Talarico, a Texas Democrat, but had merely provided legal guidance that such an interview might trigger equal time regulations that would require him to also platform Talarico’s campaign rivals.

    I too like sass. But genocide support is non negotiable to me. That makes her unqualified.

    I hope she changes her views on that. Maybe in the future she can run again but she’s gotta make some firm statements and stop being associated with Israel in any way.

    She’s obviously highly intelligent and educated. It’s a shame she’s in support of Israel.
