Make sure everyone sees this then. The FCC apparently changed its β€œequal time” rule on talk shows to make it hard for Colbert or The View to air interviews with candidates like Talarico. Video link in comments.
Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

@georgetakei When an actual Christian speaks it sounds so refreshing.
@georgetakei Not the main point here, but that's the most respectfully I've ever heard a politician talk about furries. It wasn't great, but the bar is literally lying on the floor and most of them still can't manage to step over it. (The discussion starts around 12:10)

@piper @georgetakei

Friendly reminder: the "litterbox" lies arose from a grain of truth that doesn't make Republicans or the NRA look any better:

After the Columbine High School massacre, teachers in that school district were given "go buckets" containing (among other things) cat litter, so in case of another extended lockdown, students or teachers could pee without leaving the classroom.

And only in the US are school shootings (still!) almost routine. 'Murika!

@georgetakei Thank you for posting this. I’m not religious, at all, but really liked what was said
@georgetakei My understanding is that Carr has only talked about changing the rule; the actual process to change the rule hasn't happened.
@not2b @georgetakei CBS confirms the FCC pressured them to not air this.
@raptor85 @georgetakei Yes, but as I said, they haven't formally changed the rule, so CBS could have aired it, but they bowed to pressure.

@not2b @raptor85 @georgetakei

CBS broke the first rule for dealing with fascists:

DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.

@grinningcat @raptor85 @georgetakei CBS has been taken over by fascists (the Ellisons). It isn't a matter of obeying, they are already fascists themselves.
@georgetakei no, the FCC chair merely mentioned that he was "thinking" about changing the rule. CBS "complied" in advance.
@georgetakei The Equal Time Law specifically excludes interviews from its requirements. This was an interview.
@georgetakei who is getting the revenue from YouTube in this scenario? Is it See BS or the The Late Show?
@georgetakei And the 7min-explainer from within the show on how the FCC this happens: https://youtu.be/oh7DPSP65JA?si=3aPALl137mziX_Cd&t=93

@georgetakei looking forward to equal time on Fox and Friends
