Brendan Carr (current FCC Chairman) spent the entire Biden administration claiming that at any moment now Biden would force TV stations to cancel interviews critical of him—and that's how we'd know fascism is here.

Last night FCC Chairman Brendan Carr forced CBS to cancel Colbert's interview of Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico—and now you know fascism is here.

Every MAGA Accusation Is A Confession.

What a reckless post. I'm no fan if Carr but he did not "force" anything here. Your ire should be with CBS/Paramount/Skydance.

@TotesManly I think we should get the facts straight and not play the same game that Trump and his sycophants do when it comes to the truth. It is true that the FCC didn't "force" CBS to push the Talarico interview to their YouTube channel, but they've definitely been pressuring the media not to put out anything critical to Trump and his fellow buttercups. CBS caved to this pressure in order to curry favor with this administration and get Trump the socialist to weigh in on their efforts to acquire Warner Brothers. There's plenty of blain to go around here that no one needs to overstate their case.
