FCC Chair: Legacy News Media Ran with Colbert Story Like ‘Lemmings,’ It’s Why Gas Station Sushi Is More Trusted than Them

‘This was all about a political candidate trying to get attention and clicks’

EXCERPT:

CARR: "Well, President Trump has been so far ahead the curve on so many issues, as you noted, on the economy, on border security, and perhaps nowhere else when he called out the legacy media for being fake news. And yesterday the American people got to see that on full display. It’s why people have more trust and faith in gas station sushi today than they do in a legacy news media. This was Democrat-on-Democrat violence. CBS was very clear that Colbert could run the interview that he wanted with that political candidate. They just said, 'You may have to comply with equal time,' which would have meant potentially giving air time to Jasmine Crockett and another candidate. But instead of doing that, they claim that they were victims. This was all about a political candidate trying to get attention and clicks. And the news media ran with it like lemmings. They just ate it up."
