Bill Carter: FCC Is Employing ‘Selective Regulation’ on CBS, Colbert — ‘No Way’ They’d Enforce it on Conservative Radio

EXCERPT:

CARTER: "Jake, there aren‘t that many shows here that will be infected by this, because Kimmel and 'The View' have been critical of Trump, and Seth Meyers, obviously. But if you go further than that, there aren‘t many TV shows, which, as you pointed out, makes this even more strange, because if CBS was in a different situation than they are in and they wanted to fight this, they could have gone to a court and said, 'How can you put this rule on us and not radio?' They‘re doing the same thing. And there‘s thousands of stations that are conservative talk radio, and there‘s no way that they would enforce the rule against them. So it does seem like selective regulation against them. So I‘m surprised that — maybe ABC will do that if they go after Kimmel again, but frankly, I just think that it‘s embarrassing. It really is embarrassing to me that you have Trump reacting to this small cadre of critics. Every president has been criticized by late-night TV and only this one wants to sick his FCC on them."
