Evil Ellison network stops Colbert from interviewing James Talarico, exploiting supposed threat from Federal Censorship Commission chair Brendan Carr.

I won’t be surprised if at some point Colbert shows up for work, sits at his desk for the entire taping without saying a word until the last minute, then looks at the camera and says, “Was that OK, Bari and Brendan?”

@jeffjarvis I watched and made my partner watch. It was our leisurely wake up on a Tuesday morning!

Boosting this, but I'm voting for Crockett in the primary.

The Senate needs a smart black woman more than it needs a smart white man.

If Talarico wins, I'll be happy to vote for him in November.

@jeffjarvis

it's a really good interview! Talarico seems very smart and genuine.
he also happens to be a seminarian who is fighting for separation of church and state. This is a great clip to share with family and friends who happen to be Christians.

"I've said before, Don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I'll tell you what you believe." -James Talarico (~min 5:30)

@jeffjarvis his final words could have been "culture war is a smokescreen, it's a class war". Instead he went with "not left vs right but top vs bottom".
I think it is long overdue that American people start hearing the words and learn about it to break the stigma.

An excellent interview, and a powerful message.

“There is nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism, it is the worship of power in the name of Christ, and a betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth”

RE
Let's make sure more people see it on YouTube than TV
#jamestalarico #FCC #EqualTimeRule

His great interview was not allowed (by #CBS) to be on the TV airwaves, not even a REAL photo of #talarico

#Colbert was not even allowed to show a drawing of him, but Colbert broke with CBS legal dept and drew Snoopy's face/head

#jasminecrockett is running against #jamestalarico

Yo️ run as a TEAM and turn #Texas blue

@JonChevreau

@arrrg @jeffjarvis I wouldn't know. I'm too depressed to go look. Problem is, looking makes me depressed even more. This isn't actually because of a lack of listings though.

[hanna05082000@mastodon.social]

@jeffjarvis This is so messed up! Colbert can’t even talk about censorship without being censored? That’s wild. Free speech matters!

#CBS is a NAZI NEWS org now

Seems there are others with reports of playing bad, like #X and #Bluesky

See the info (image search URL) on #Bluesky seems very bad, the new (last year) owners behind it, make the Bluesky data easy to be scrapped and poster data
