Colbert says CBS lawyers pulled interview
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Stephen Colbert says his interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico was pulled from Monday’s broadcast over fears it would violate “equal time” guidance from the Federal Communications Commission under the Trump administration. The situation came hours before the start of early voting in Texas. Colbert says the network also told him not to mention the change but discussed it on air and pointed viewers to the full interview posted on YouTube. CBS said it only provided legal guidance.
