Censoring Stephen Colbert’s interviews is bad regardless of your political party

On Tuesday morning, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert posted an interview on its YouTube page with Texas state representative James Talarico, who is running for Senate in 2026. The segment did not air on Monday night’s Late Show with Stephen Colbert because, as Colbert put it in the opening of the show, “we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers that we could not have him on the broadcast.”
