The liberal media establishment is having another one of their trademark meltdowns, this time over Stephen Colbert's decision to platform Democrat candidate James Talarico on "The Late Show." What started as a simple guest booking has exploded into a full-blown hysteria fest that reveals just how disconnected the legacy media has become from basic broadcasting standards and FCC regulations.
For an entire week now, talking heads across cable news have been clutching their pearls and spreading misinformation about equal time rules, censorship, and what actually constitutes fair broadcasting practices. The result? A perfect storm of ignorance masquerading as expertise.
Facts Matter More Than Feelings
Here's what the hyperventilating media class doesn't want you to understand: late-night comedy shows have always been partisan platforms. When Colbert books a Democrat candidate, it's not some shocking violation of broadcasting ethics – it's Tuesday night in Hollywood.
The real story here isn't about equal time or FCC violations. It's about how quickly the same media outlets that spent years defending "Saturday Night Live's" brutal takedowns of conservative politicians suddenly discovered concern about "fairness" when it suits their narrative.
"The fainting couch hysteria that has emerged over this contested appearance continues to roil the media landscape," according to media analysts who are actually paying attention to the facts rather than the fiction.
What's truly rich is watching outlets that have spent the Trump era promoting every anti-conservative late-night bit suddenly worry about broadcasting standards. Where was this concern when these same shows spent four years turning comedy into Democrat campaign commercials?
Double Standards Exposed
The Trump administration's return to power has clearly rattled the entertainment-media complex. They're so desperate to manufacture controversy that they're inventing FCC violations that don't exist and broadcasting standards that were never applied equally.
Patriots watching this circus unfold should ask themselves: why is the media more concerned about a Democrat appearing on Colbert than they ever were about the years of one-sided political propaganda disguised as comedy?
The answer reveals everything you need to know about who really controls the narrative – and who's fighting to break their stranglehold on American discourse.
