Stephen Colbert escalates dispute with CBS over Talarico interview ban

On Monday, Stephen Colbert explained that CBS explicitly prohibited him from having Democratic senate candidate John Talarico on his “Late Show.” The network’s reasoning was that inviting Talarico would obligate them to give equal airtime to his primary opponents. Colbert also revealed that CBS told him not to mention this restriction on the show, but he chose to disregard that instruction.
