Kaitlan Collins of CNN recently appeared on the Colbert show and demonstrated her ignorance of media related laws and policy.

Because Colbert has decided to turn ‘The Late Show’ into the Democrat Power Hour, the FCC has threatened to enforce what are called ‘Equal Time Rules.’ This means that if Colbert has a political candidate on his show, a thing he does all the time, by law he has to offer equal time to the candidate’s opponent. This is because his show is broadcast on public airwaves.

During her appearance on the show, Collins proved that she does not understand this at all. In the clip below, she makes that clear.

COLLINS:I think it’s actually a really, really slippery slope because I think you’ve seen some people on the right cheering this and saying that’s what we want Brendan Carr to do. I think they don’t want a Democratic administration saying that right-wing talk radio must give equal time to Democrats or to see that moment.

For me personally on our show I have Democrats and Republicans on. I want to know everyone is saying. I want my viewers to know what the debate is that’s in Washington. I don’t think anyone wants the federal government telling people who they should book on their show and who the guests should be on their show.

“[Republicans] don't want a Democratic administration saying that Right Wing talk radio must give equal time to Democrats."

Welp, at least she’s admitting what Colbert's show actually is.pic.twitter.com/XXoOhuMgow

Conservative talk radio host Larry O’Connor points out her stupidity below:

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s a Democrat administration or a Republican administration. If you bring on a candidate, a declared candidate prior to an election, you are required, if the opposing candidate asks for the time, you are required to give them that time. I had to deal with this on my radio station back when Barack Obama was president – a Democrat – and we had a candidate on quite a bit, and the Democrat demanded to come on, He got on…. Because that’s the law.
