Jim VandeHei: It’s Really ‘Dangerous Precedent’ To Have the Federal Government Micromanaging Who’s on What Show

EXCERPT:

VANDEHEI: “The idea that you have the federal government micromanaging businesses or micromanaging who's on what show when --"
BRZEZINSKI: "Mm-hmm."
VANDEHEI: "-- is just not a great precedent for anybody, right? Like especially if you're a party that stands for free speech, certainly like Colbert and others have had many, many guests on in the past, and obviously he is aware you could have -- you could have the Democratic -- the Republican opponents in Texas on the show if he wants. But it's just a really dangerous precedent. And it also plays into this controversy of ever since Bari Weiss took over CBS. There's just a lot of drama inside that network. A lot of people don't like her. A lot of people feel like the network itself is trying to placate Trump. So you have a lot of different plots, subplots happening in this drama."
