Brit Hume: Talarico’s Claim That the FCC Shut Down His Stephen Colbert Interview ‘Is Silly’

RUSH EXCERPT:HUME: "I think talarico’s claim that the FCC shut down his interview is silly. There has been on the century the equal time rule for political candidates when you are close to the date of an election. And in January, the Trump Administration tightened the rules a little bit as pertains to shows like Stephen Colbert’s show which is supposed to be a late night entertainment show. Can you no longer use that as a way of getting around the equal time rule if you are going to have candidates on FCC said nothing about this case until it was underway. CBS’s lawyers looked at the situation and saw the talarico interview had been done and decided that it was risky to air it and run afoul of the equal time rule. So it didn’t air there. It aired on YouTube or whatever with some promotion on the television network and probably did that candidate more good than any unaired interview network has ever done."
