James Talarico on Colbert Interview: ‘It’s All the People at the Top Trying to Control What We Watch’

EXCERPT:

TALARICO: “You know, I was up in New York with my mom to go on 'The View,' and that appearance on The View is what started this whole drama because that's when the FCC launched an investigation into 'The View' for that appearance, which then led to this censorship on CBS with 'The Late Show.' So this has been a pattern. And this is a coordinated effort between the most powerful people in the country, both the most powerful politicians in the Trump administration and the most powerful corporate media executives. And so it's all the people at the top trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read, what we learn about the world.”
