CBS backs off effort to stop sharing of Colbert’s surprise ‘Only in Monroe’ segment amid backlash

CBS said it had issued copyright notices for a recent episode featuring a surprise appearance by Stephen Colbert on the show “Only in Monroe” per its regular practice but would stop issuing takedown notices pending further review.

CBS released a statement about the Talarico-Colbert incident. I knew as soon as I heard about it that it was written in Weaselese.

I was right. Colbert addresses it in this video:

Why Everyone's Talking About Stephen Colbert, CBS, The FCC And James Talarico

YouTube

The FCC does not want you to see Stephen Colbert's interview with James Talarico. CBS caved and instructed Colbert not to show it on broadcast.

It can be shown online, however, since the FCC does not rule over streaming.

I don't usually watch Colbert's interviews, but I made an exception. It was mainly to piss off the FCC chair, but I did not regret it.

I suggest you do the same. It sure would be nice if we can bring up viewership through the roof.

And to the FCC, to borrow from Stephen, "FCC You!"

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

I do want to commend Paramount Pus (Paramount+) for their enshittification efforts.

I started watching the last episode of a series and I stopped because the bloody ads were too much.

See, they did have unskippable ads at the start of every episode. 20 seconds, maybe. I tolerated those. I'd mute my TV. Annoying, no doubt.

For the final episode, which clocks at 1h30min, they decided to shove unskippable ads every 10 bloody minutes. And those ads run easily 90 seconds.

This is too much. I stopped watching. I may never see the finale. My self-care is too important to tolerate this bullshit.

"Good god! Are you going to become a monk, who sustains himself from tea, nettles, and nettle tea."

Hell, no! That wouldn't work. Me, a monk? Ha! I like to fuck too much.

I've watched Paramount Pus' new Frasier.

Meh...

Okay... #Paramount with its service Paramount Pus...

Hmm... that does not seem right. Let me check my notes. Sorry, Paramount Plus.

So, as I was saying, Paramount Plus forces its advertisement upon me. Okay. The one show I was interested in is The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.

Guess what?

I can watch it on #YouTube. No ads there. Also, the quality when I checked on Paramount Plus this morning was at the level of... let me check my notes again... The term of art is pixelated shit.

"It looks like we won the war against people sharing our content!"

"What do we do now???"

"I know. let's enshittify our platform! FTW!"

Remember that war you thought you won? You declared victory too soon. It ain't over.

(By the way, I don't subscribe to Paramount Plus. I have it as a kind of side effect of having another service.)
